F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Kings 3:1-12

an Unwise Alliance 2 Kings 3:1-12 Jehoram’s reign over the ten tribes was marked by some measures of reform. He discountenanced Baal worship; though, in defiance of the Second Commandment, he clave to Jeroboam’s calves. Therefore Jehoshaphat was ill-advised to enter into alliance with him. The servant of Jehovah had no right to say to such a man, “I am as thou art,” etc. He had said this before, and narrowly escaped with his life. It was very bad, therefore, to repeat a policy which was... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Kings 3:13-27

Mesha’s Defeat and Desperate Sacrifice 2 Kings 3:13-27 Jehoshaphat, though erring, was still God’s child, and deliverance came to him. The heights of our senseless folly and the depths of our waywardness will not succeed in severing us from God’s love. Elisha used the very words of Elijah, 2 Kings 3:14 and 1 Kings 17:1 . Notice how men of different mold and mission, the Elijahs and the Elishas, derive their inspiration and strength in the same way. As a great Christian general put it, “Every... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 3:1-27

At this point the history goes back and describes the beginning of the war with Moab, to which reference was made at the opening of the book. It was a combined movement of Israel and Judah and Edom against Moab. Elisha's capacity for sternness was manifested in the refusal to deal with the king of Israel. The armies lacked water, and appealed to him. His answer immediately called into prominence the fact of the divine government, that God is still able, in supernatural ways, to make provision... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 3:1-3

A. The Reign of Jehoram, King Of Israel, Commences (2 Kings 3:1-3 ). The introduction to the reign of Jehoram, king of Israel, follows the usual format, with the exception that he was an improvement religionwise on his father in that he removed the ‘pillar of Baal’ which his father had made. Possibly what had happened to his brother Azariah, and his brother’s encounters with Elijah, had given Jehoram pause for thought, especially as Baal had clearly been unable to prevent his death. But sadly... read more

The Elisha Miracles (2Ki 2 Kings 2:1-25 ; 2 Kings 4:1 to 2 Kings 6:23 ), His Prophetic Involvement In The Victory Over Moab (2 Kings 3:1-27 ), And Further Subsequent Events Where YHWH’s Power Through Elisha Is Revealed (2 Kings 6:24 to 2 Kings 8:15 ). We move away in this section from the annals of the kings of Israel and Judah, to the memoirs of the sons of the prophets, although even then possibly intermingled with further extracts from the official annals (e.g. 2 Kings 3:1-27). The... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 3:4-7

B. Mesha of Moab Seeks To Free Moab From Being Tributary To Israel (2 Kings 3:4-7 ). We know from the Moabite Stone that Moab had been tributary to Israel from the time of Omri, but that Mesha was growing in power as Israel declined, and had already begun attempts to throw off Israel’s yoke, and impose his own on parts of Israel in Transjordan, while Ahab was busy with fighting the Assyrians and dealing with the Aramaeans. (The Moabite Stone was, of course, written from Moab’s point of view,... read more

C. The Invasion Plan Goes Wrong And The Invaders Find Themselves In Jeopardy Through Lack Of Water With The Result That Jehoshaphat Desires The Advice Of A Prophet Of YHWH (2 Kings 3:8-14 ). The alliance decided that they would invade Moab by going round the bottom of the Deed Sea and approaching Moab from the south, although even then avoiding the usual route. By this means they avoided the strings of forts that Moab had renewed and established. But the route that they took meant travelling... read more

D. YHWH’s Provision For The Alliance Forces And The Subjugation Of Moab Which Has However An Unfortunate Consequence In Mesha’s Child-Sacrifice (2 Kings 3:15-27 ). YHWH’s reply indicated that they had to dig trenches throughout the valley in a kind of irrigation system as though there was a likelihood of water coming down from the mountains of Edom. Then His promise was that, even though they experienced no signs of rain, the channels would become full of water. Thus he required of the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 3:1-27

2 Kings 3:1-Daniel : . Reign of Jehoram. War with Moab.— The only two kings of Israel on whom the censure pronounced is in any way qualified are Jehoram, the last of the house of Omri, and Hoshea ( 2 Kings 17:2), the last king of Israel. All the others are said to have done evil.The war with Moab is the subject of the famous inscription of Mesha discovered in 1868 (pp. 34, 69). On this Mesha states that Omri occupied the land of Mehedebah (Medeba, Numbers 21:30, Joshua 13:9, Isaiah 15:2) his... read more

The eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat. Quest. How can this be true, when Ahaziah, Jehoram’s predecessor, who reigned two years, began his reign in Jehoshaphat’s seventeenth year, 1 Kings 22:51? Answ. Either Ahaziah reigned the greatest part of two years, to wit, of the seventeenth and eighteenth years of Jehoshaphat, (parts of years being oft called years in the computation of times, both in Scripture and other authors,) and Jehoram began his reign towards the end of his eighteenth year; or... read more
