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.

9 They made a circuit of the towns of Judah, teaching the people and using the Book of The Revelation of God as their text.

10 There was a strong sense of the fear of God in all the kingdoms around Judah - they didn't dare go to war against Jehoshaphat.
