SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:36
e hizo con él compañía para aparejar navíos que fuesen a Tarsis; y construyeron los navíos en Ezión-geber.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 20:36
Verse 36. To go to Tarshish] "In the great sea." -Targum. By which expression they always meant the Mediterranean Sea.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 36. And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish , etc.] Of which, (See Gill on “ 1 Kings 22:48”), and though it is there said, ( 1 Kings 22:49), that Jehoshaphat refused letting the servants of Ahaziah go with his, that was after he had been reproved for joining with him, and after the ships were broken: and they made the ships in Eziongeber ; of which (See Gill on “ 1 Kings 9:26”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 31-37 - Jehoshaphat kept close to the worship of God, and did what he could to keep his people close to it. But after God had done such great thing for him, given him not only victory, but wealth; after this, to go an join himself with a wicked king, was very ungrateful. What could he expect but that God would be angry with him? Yet it seems, he took the warning; for when Ahaziah afterward pressed him to join him, he woul not, 1Ki 22:49. Thus the alliance was broken, and the Divine rebuke ha its effect, at least for a season. Let us be thankful for any losse which may have prevented the loss of our immortal souls. Let us prais the Lord, who sought after us, and left us not to perish in our sins __________________________________________________________________
