2 Chronicles 21:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 21:14

Behold, with a great plague will the Lord smite thy people,
&c.] They going into the same idolatry with himself willingly, at least great part of them, and therefore deserved to be smitten, and which would be a punishment to him:

and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods;
which should be carried captive, as the event shows.

13 Instead, you have followed the ways of the kings of Israel. You, like Ahab's family, have caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to chase after foreign gods as if they were prostitutes. You have killed your brothers, your father's family. Your brothers were better than you.

14 The LORD will strike a great blow to your people, your sons, your wives, and all your property because you did this.
