2 Chronicles 8:3 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 8:3

And Solomon went to Hamathzobah
In an hostile manner, which is the only instance of any warlike expedition of Solomon's. This was Coelesyria, which though subdued in the times of David, perhaps rebelled, and now Solomon went forth to reduce it:

and prevailed against it;
took it.
