Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 2 Chronicles 21:1

1-4. Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers . . . Jehoram . . . reigned—The late king left seven sons; two of them are in our version named Azariah; but in the Hebrew they appear considerably different, the one being spelt "Azariah," and the other "Azariahu." Though Jehoshaphat had made his family arrangements with prudent precaution, and while he divided the functions of royalty in his lifetime (compare :-), as well as fixed the succession to the throne in his oldest son, he appointed each of the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Chronicles 21:1-20

E. Jehoram ch. 21The events from Jehoram’s reign that the Chronicler selected present a classic example of the consequences that follow departing from Yahweh. The king violated God’s will by murdering his brothers (2 Chronicles 21:4) and practicing idolatry (2 Chronicles 21:6)."Jehoram is the first king of the Davidic line of whom the Chronicler’s judgment is totally negative." [Note: Williamson, 1 and 2 . . ., p. 303.] "There is both irony and retributive justice in that Jehoram sets in motion... read more

Reign of JehokamThis chapter in part reproduces 2 Kings 8:17-22 but adds several particulars respecting the judgments brought upon Jehoram.2. Azariah..

JEHORAM, AHAZIAH, AND ATHALIAH: THE CONSEQUENCES OF A FOREIGN MARRIAGE2 Chronicles 21:1-20; 2 Chronicles 22:1-12; 2 Chronicles 23:1-21THE accession of Jehoram is one of the instances in which a wicked son succeeded to a conspicuously pious father, but in this case there is no difficulty in explaining the phenomenon: the depraved character and evil deeds of Jehoram, Ahaziah, and Athaliah are at once accounted for when we remember that they were respectively the son-in-law, grandson, and daughter... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Chronicles 21:1-20

THE REIGN OF JEHORAM (vv.1-20) Though verse 1 speaks of Jehoram's reigning when Jehoshaphat died, it is made clear in2 Kings 8:16; 2 Kings 8:16 that Jehoram began to reign before Jehoshaphat's death, for it reads, "In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram. the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, began to reign" (JND Trans.). Evidently Jehoshaphat gave his son the place of reigning along with himself, or as regent. Jehoshaphat... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 21:1-20

JEHORAM TO HEZEHIAH JEHORAM (2 Chronicles 21:0 ) Jehoshaphat followed Rehoboam’s example in arranging for his sons (2 Chronicles 21:3 ), but without the hoped-for result (2 Chronicles 21:4 ). Such a brother as Jehoram proved might be expected to act in his kingly capacity as verses five to seven testify. Elijah (2 Chronicles 21:12 ) may be mistaken of the transcribers for Elisha, as the former died earlier (2 Kings 2:0 ); unless we take the view in the margin that this was a “writing” he... read more

2 Chronicles 21:0 1. Now [And] Jehoshaphat slept [lay down] with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned [Jehoram's sole reign now began.

And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel. 3. And their father gave them great gifts of... read more
