2 Chronicles 15:18 - Exposition

Except for an unimportant difference of the Keri and Chethiv kind in one word, this verse is identical with the parallel ( 1 Kings 15:15 ). The silver, gold, and vessels were, of course, for the repair, restoration, and replacing of the revered fittings and ornaments of the temple. From what sources and after what victories the father of Asa and Asa himself had drawn these supplies is not given either here or in the parallel, but it is natural to suppose that Abijah's victory over Jeroboam ( 2 Chronicles 13:16 ) and Asa's over Zerah would have been the chief occasions to finnish them.
