2 Chroniques 26:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 26:6

And he went forth, and warred against the Philistines
Who in the times of Jehoram broke in upon Judah, and distressed them, ( 2 Chronicles 21:16 2 Chronicles 21:17 )

and brake down the wall of Gath;
which was one of the five principalities of the Philistines:

and the wall of Jabneh;
nowhere else mentioned in Scripture, but frequent in the Jewish writings; where the sanhedrim sometimes sat, and where was a famous university, and from whence sprung many of the Jewish rabbins; it is the same which in some writers is called Jamnia, and was a port near to Joppa; and belonged to the tribe of Dan, as Josephus F13 writes:

and the wall of Ashdod:
another of the principalities of the Philistines, the same with the Azotus of the New Testament; he dismantled all these places:

and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines;
where he placed garrisons to keep them in awe; see ( Amos 1:8 ) .

4 Il fit ce qui est droit aux yeux de l'Éternel, comme avait fait Amatsia, son père.

6 Il sortit et fit la guerre contre les Philistins; et il renversa la muraille de Gath, la muraille de Jabné, et la muraille d'Asdod; et il bâtit des villes dans le pays d'Asdod, et chez les Philistins.
7 Et Dieu lui donna du secours contre les Philistins et contre les Arabes qui habitaient Ă  Gur-Baal, et contre les Maonites.
8 Les Ammonites même faisaient des présents à Ozias, et sa renommée parvint jusqu'à l'entrée de l'Égypte; car il devint très puissant.
