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.

2 Chronicles 21:14 In-Context

12 A letter came to him from the prophet Elijah, saying: "Thus says the Lord, the God of your father David: Because you have not walked in the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or in the ways of King Asa of Judah,

13 but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have led Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem into unfaithfulness, as the house of Ahab led Israel into unfaithfulness, and because you also have killed your brothers, members of your father's house, who were better than yourself,

14 see, the Lord will bring a great plague on your people, your children, your wives, and all your possessions,

15 and you yourself will have a severe sickness with a disease of your bowels, until your bowels come out, day after day, because of the disease."

16 The Lord aroused against Jehoram the anger of the Philistines and of the Arabs who are near the Ethiopians.
