Chronicles II 36:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 36:15

And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his
messengers
The prophets of the Lord, to admonish them of their idolatries, and to reprove them for them, to warn them of the wrath of God that would come upon them on that account, unless they repented and reformed; these were at the beginning of their apostasy, and were successively continued unto this time, as Ahijah, Elijah, and others, in the first times of it; Amos, Isaiah, and others, in the middle of it; and Jeremiah, Zephaniah, and Ezekiel, towards the close of it:

rising up betimes, and sending;
which is either to be understood of the Lord, and as expressive of his care and diligence, like the master of a family, solicitous for the good of it; or of the messengers, the prophets, who made haste to go or send their prophecies and instructions to reclaim the people; the phrase is often to be met with in the prophecy of Jeremiah, (See Gill on Jeremiah 11:7):

because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwellingplace;
being unwilling they should come to ruin, and perish, and their city and temple be destroyed where they dwelt.
