2 Chronicles 21:17 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 21:17

And they came up into Judah, and brake into it
l In an hostile manner:

and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house,
his gold, silver, and precious things, the rich furniture of his palace; no mention is made of any other plunder in the city, or the country; so that they seem to have had their principal eye to the king's palace, and the spoil of that; being so directed by the providence of God, who had stirred them up to do this as a punishment of Jehoram:

and his sons also, and his wives;
these they also carried away, all but Athaliah, who hid herself; he through his disease not being able to make any opposition, or to get any forces together to withstand them:

so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz,
the youngest of his sons; the same that is called Ahaziah and Azariah, ( 2 Chronicles 22:1 2 Chronicles 22:6 ) so the prophecy in ( 2 Chronicles 21:14 ) was fulfilled.

2 Chronicles 21:17 In-Context

15 and you yourself [will be afflicted] with great illness, with sickness in your bowels, until your bowels come out on account of the illness, day by day.'"

16 And Yahweh stirred up the spirit of the Philistines and the Arabs who [were] {near} the Cushites against Jehoram.

17 And they came up against Judah and invaded it and carried away all the possessions found in the house of the king, and also his sons and his wives, so that no son was left to him except Jehoahaz his youngest son.

18 And after all this Yahweh afflicted him in his bowels with an illness for [which there was] no cure.

19 And it happened [that] {after many days, at the end of two years}, his bowels came out because of his illness, and he died in terrible agony. And his people did not make a fire for him like the fire for his ancestors.
