2 Crônicas 20:37

37 Então Eliézer, filho de Dodavaú, de Maressa, profetizou contra Jeosafá, dizendo: Porquanto te aliaste com Acazias, o Senhor destruiu as tuas obras. E os navios se despedaçaram e não puderam ir a Társis.

2 Crônicas 20:37 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 20:37

Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah
A city in the tribe of Judah, ( Joshua 15:44 )

prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, because thou hast joined
thyself with Ahaziah;
an idolatrous prince, with whom he ought to have had no fellowship, even in civil things, it being both a countenancing him, and exposing himself and people to danger:

the Lord hath broken thy works;
the ships built at the joint expense of the two kings, that is, the Lord had determined to break them, and now foretold that he would; the Targum is,

``the Word of the Lord hath destroyed thy works:''

and the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish;
(See Gill on 1 Kings 22:48).

35 Depois disto Jeosafá, rei de Judá, se aliou com Acazias, rei de Israel, que procedeu impiamente;
36 aliou-se com ele para construírem navios que fossem a Társis; e construíram os navios em Eziom-Geber.
37 Então Eliézer, filho de Dodavaú, de Maressa, profetizou contra Jeosafá, dizendo: Porquanto te aliaste com Acazias, o Senhor destruiu as tuas obras. E os navios se despedaçaram e não puderam ir a Társis.
