2Chr 21:1-11
Back to Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible
Back to 2 Chronicles.
- The wicked reign of Jehoram. (1-11) Jehoram's miserable end. (12-20)
1-11 Jehoram hated his brethren, and slew them, for the same reason that Cain hated Abel, and slew him, because their piety condemned his impiety. In the mystery of Providence such men sometimes prosper for a time; but the Lord has righteous purposes in permitting such events, part of which may now be made out, and the rest will be seen hereafter.
