2 Chronicles 15:1 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 15:1

And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded
The same with Iddo, as Hillerus F8 thinks; and some suppose this to be the name of the son as well as the father, but called Azariah, to distinguish him from him, see ( 2 Chronicles 15:8 ) on whom came, as the Targum, the spirit of prophecy, instructing him what to say to Asa; and the Jews say F9 he is the same with Iddo, and he the same that was sent to Jeroboam, to reprove him for the altar he built.

2 Chronicles 15:1 In-Context

1 Now the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded,
2 and he went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the LORD is with you when you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.
3 "For many days Israel was without the true God and without a teaching priest and without law.
4 "But in their distress they turned to the LORD God of Israel, and they sought Him, and He let them find Him.
5 "In those times there was no peace to him who went out or to him who came in, for many disturbances afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands.
