SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:1
ΒΆ Y vino el espíritu de Dios sobre Azarías hijo de Obed;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 15:1
Verse 1. Azariah the son of Oded] We know nothing of this prophet but what is related of him here.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded , etc.] The same with Iddo, as Hillerus thinks; and some suppose this to be the name of the son as well as the father, but called Azariah, to distinguish him from him, (see 2 Chronicles 15:8) on whom came, as the Targum, the spirit of prophecy, instructing him what to say to Asa; and the Jews say f59 he is the same with Iddo, and he the same that was sent to Jeroboam, to reprove him for the altar he built.
Matthew Henry Commentary
The people make a solemn covenant with God. --The work of complete reformation appeared so difficult, that Asa ha not courage to attempt it, till assured of Divine assistance an acceptance. He and his people offered sacrifices to God; thanksgivin for the favours they had received, and supplication for furthe favours. Prayers and praises are now our spiritual sacrifices. The people, of their own will, covenanted to seek the Lord, each for himself, with earnestness. What is religion but seeking God, inquirin after him, applying to him upon all occasions? We make nothing of ou religion, if we do not make heart-work of it; God will have all the heart, or none. Our devotedness to God our Saviour, should be avowe and shown in the most solemn and public manner. What is done in hypocrisy is a mere drudgery __________________________________________________________________
