2 Chronicles 17:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 17:11

Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents and
tribute silver
Perhaps those of Gerar, and the parts adjacent, Asa took and spoiled, and made tributary, ( 2 Chronicles 14:14 ) ,

and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred
rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he goats;
with which their country abounded; and these might be the Scenite Arabs, who fearing lest Jehoshaphat should fall upon them, and take away their flocks as his father had done, ( 2 Chronicles 14:15 ) , brought these presents to him.

2 Chronicles 17:11 In-Context

9 They taught in Judah, having the book of the law of the LORD with them; and they went throughout all the cities of Judah and taught among the people.
10 Now the dread of the LORD was on all the kingdoms of the lands which were around Judah, so that they did not make war against Jehoshaphat.
11 Some of the Philistines brought gifts and silver as tribute to Jehoshaphat; the Arabians also brought him flocks, 7,700 rams and 7,700 male goats.
12 So Jehoshaphat grew greater and greater, and he built fortresses and store cities in Judah.
13 He had large supplies in the cities of Judah, and warriors, valiant men, in Jerusalem.
