SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:16
Entonces despertó el SEÑOR contra Joram el espíritu de los filisteos, y de los árabes que estaban junto a los etíopes;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 21:16
Verse 16. The Philistines, and-the Arabians] We have no other account of this war. Though it was a predatory war, yet it appears to have been completely ruinous and destructive. What a general curse fell upon this bad king; in his body, soul, substance, family, and government!
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. Moreover, the Lord stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines , etc.] Which had been depressed in the times of Jehoshaphat, to whom they brought their presents and tribute willingly, ( 2 Chronicles 17:11) and of the Arabians that were near the Ethiopians ; not the Ethiopians of Africa, as the Targum, for the Arabians were not near them, but the Chusaean Arabs or Midianites, (see Numbers 12:1). The Targum is, the Word of the Lord did this.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-20 - A warning from God was sent to Jehoram. The Spirit of prophecy migh direct Elijah to prepare this writing in the foresight of Jehoram' crimes. He is plainly told that his sin should certainly ruin him. But no marvel that sinners are not frightened from sin, and to repentance by the threatenings of misery in another world, when the certainty of misery in this world, the sinking of their estates, and the ruin of their health, will not restrain them from vicious courses. See Jehora here stripped of all his comforts. Thus God plainly showed that the controversy was with him, and his house. He had slain all his brethre to strengthen himself; now, all his sons are slain but one. David' house must not be wholly destroyed, like those of Israel's kings because a blessing was in it; that of the Messiah. Good men may be afflicted with diseases; but to them they are fatherly chastisements and by the support of Divine consolations the soul may dwell at ease even when the body lies in pain. To be sick and poor, sick an solitary, but especially to be sick and in sin, sick and under the curse of God, sick and without grace to bear it, is a most deplorabl case. Wickedness and profaneness make men despicable, even in the eye of those who have but little religion __________________________________________________________________
