2 Cronache 20:37

37 Allora Eliezer, figliuolo di Dodava da Maresha, profetizzò contro Giosafat, dicendo: "Perché ti sei associato con Achazia, l’Eterno ha disperse le opere tue". E le navi furono infrante, e non poterono fare il viaggio di Tarsis.

2 Cronache 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).

2 Cronache 20:37 In-Context

35 Dopo questo, Giosafat, re di Giuda, si associò col re d’Israele Achazia, che aveva una condotta empia;
36 e se lo associò, per costruire delle navi che andassero a Tarsis; e le costruirono ad Etsion-Gheber.
37 Allora Eliezer, figliuolo di Dodava da Maresha, profetizzò contro Giosafat, dicendo: "Perché ti sei associato con Achazia, l’Eterno ha disperse le opere tue". E le navi furono infrante, e non poterono fare il viaggio di Tarsis.
