2 Chronicles 12:12 - Exposition

This verse is not in the parallel, but is particularly proper to Chronicles and its uniform tenor. And also in Judah things went well . The obvious meaning, "and still some good was left in Judah." There was some hopefulness in the situation, and reason for striving mightily "to be watchful, and strengthen the things that remain, that are ready to die" ( Revelation 3:2 ). The occurrence of לְכָלָה is somewhat against the rendering of "some" in 2 Chronicles 12:7 as an adverb of time.
