Chronicles II 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.

Chronicles II 15:1 In-Context

1 And Azarias the son of Oded—upon him came the Spirit of the Lord,

2 and he went out to meet Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin, and said, Hear me, Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin. The Lord with you, while ye are with him; and if ye seek him out, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

3 And Israel a long time without the true God, and without a priest to expound , and without the law.

4 But he shall turn them to the Lord God of Israel, and he will be found of them.

5 And in that time there is no peace to one going out, or to one coming in, for the terror of the Lord is upon all that inhabit the lands.
