6 so that they were shattered to pieces, nation against nation and city against city, as God troubled them with every kind of distress.

2 Chronicles 15:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 15:6

And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city
Or one tribe of another; as the Ephraimites by the Gileadites, and the tribe of Benjamin by the other tribes; and Shechem by Abimelech, ( Judges 9:45 ) ( 12:6 ) ( Judges 20:21 Judges 20:24 Judges 20:44-48 ) ,

for God did vex them with all adversity;
both with foreign enemies and civil wars; and now it is intimated that this would be their case again, should they not keep close to the Lord their God.

2 Chronicles 15:6 In-Context

4 But when, in their distress, they turned to ADONAI the God of Isra'el and sought him, they found him.
5 In those times people going about their business were insecure, and great disturbances afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands;
6 so that they were shattered to pieces, nation against nation and city against city, as God troubled them with every kind of distress.
7 But you, be strong, and don't slack off; for your work will be rewarded."
8 When Asa heard these words prophesied by 'Oded the prophet, it gave him courage to throw the disgusting things out of the whole land of Y'hudah and Binyamin and out of the cities he had captured in the hills of Efrayim; he also renewed the altar of ADONAI which was in front of the vestibule of ADONAI.
