(Comp. 1Chronicles 11:9.) Exceedingly.--'Ad l?ma'lah. This phrase occurs again in 2Chronicles 16:12; 2Chronicles 26:8, and nowhere else in the Old Testament. (See on 1Chronicles 14:2.) And he built.--Like his predecessors--Solomon, Rehoboam, Asa--he displayed his wealth and power in great public works. The records of the Assyrian and Babylonian sovereigns are largely taken up with similar accounts of temple and palace building.

The public teaching of the word of God forms, in all ages, the great method of promoting the power of godliness. Thereby the understanding is informed, the conscience is awakened and directed. We have a particular account of Jehoshaphat's prosperity. But it was not his formidable army that restrained the neighbouring nations from attempting any thing against Israel, but the fear of God which fell upon them, when Jehoshaphat reformed his country, and set up a preaching ministry in it. The ordinances of God are more the strength and safety of a kingdom, than soldiers and weapons of war. The Bible requires use to notice the hand of God in every event, yet this is little regarded. But let all employ the talents they have: be faithful, even in that which is little. Set up the worship of God in your houses. The charge of a family is important. Why should you not instruct them as Jehoshaphat did his subjects, in the book of the law of the Lord. But be consistent. Do not recommend one thing, and practise another. Begin with yourselves. Seek to the Lord God of Israel, then call upon children and servants to follow your example.Jump to Previous Built Castles Cities Exceeding Exceedingly Fortresses Forts Great Greater Grew Jehoshaphat Jehosh'aphat Judah Powerful Steadily Store Store-Cities Store-Towns Strong Towers WaxedJump to Next Built Castles Cities Exceeding Exceedingly Fortresses Forts Great Greater Grew Jehoshaphat Jehosh'aphat Judah Powerful Steadily Store Store-Cities Store-Towns Strong Towers WaxedLinks 2 Chronicles 17:12 NIV2 Chronicles 17:12 NLT 2 Chronicles 17:12 ESV 2 Chronicles 17:12 NASB 2 Chronicles 17:12 KJV 2 Chronicles 17:12 Bible Apps 2 Chronicles 17:12 Biblia Paralela 2 Chronicles 17:12 Chinese Bible 2 Chronicles 17:12 French Bible 2 Chronicles 17:12 German Bible Alphabetical: and became built cities fortresses forts greater grew he in Jehoshaphat Judah more powerful So store OT History: 2 Chronicles 17:12 Jehoshaphat grew great exceedingly (2 Chron. 2Ch iiCh ii ch 2 chr 2chr) Christian Bible Study Resources, Dictionary, Concordance and Search Tools |
