2 Chronicles 21:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 21:16

Moreover, the Lord stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of
the Philistines
Which had been depressed in the times of Jehoshaphat, to whom they brought their presents and tribute willingly, ( 2 Chronicles 17:11 )

and of the Arabians that were near the Ethiopians;
not the Ethiopians of Africa, as the Targum, for the Arabians were not near them, but the Chusaean Arabs or Midianites, see ( Numbers 12:1 ) . The Targum is, the Word of the Lord did this.

2 Chronicles 21:16 In-Context

14 So now the Lord is about to punish your people, your children, wives, and everything you own.

15 You will have a terrible disease in your intestines that will become worse every day. Finally it will cause your intestines to come out."

16 The Lord caused the Philistines and the Arabs who lived near the Cushites to be angry with Jehoram.

17 So the Philistines and Arabs attacked Judah and carried away all the wealth of Jehoram's palace, as well as his sons and wives. Only Jehoram's youngest son, Ahaziah, was left.

18 After these things happened, the Lord gave Jehoram a disease in his intestines that could not be cured.
