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 ecce Dominus percutiet te plaga magna cum populo tuo et filiis et uxoribus tuis universaque substantia tua

15 tu autem aegrotabis pessimo languore uteri donec egrediantur vitalia tua paulatim per dies singulos

16 suscitavit ergo Dominus contra Ioram spiritum Philisthinorum et Arabum qui confines sunt Aethiopibus

17 et ascenderunt in terram Iuda et vastaverunt eam diripueruntque cunctam substantiam quae inventa est in domo regis insuper et filios eius et uxores nec remansit ei filius nisi Ioachaz qui minimus natu erat

18 et super haec omnia percussit eum Dominus alvi languore insanabili
