A void place.--A threshingfloor. LXX., ?? ?? ????????, "in the open ground;" Vulg., "in a threshing. floor."

Verse 9. - The contents of this and the following two verses narrate either what had already taken place, or the continuation of the scene that had not come to its end, but had been interrupted in order to carry out fully the urgent exhortation of Jehoshaphat "to-day," so that Ahab sent at once there and then a messenger for Micaiah. Any way, the unreal prophets have their full opportunity and their say at least twice over, as also Micaiah below (vers. 14, 16, 18-22, 27). A void place; i.e. a level floor; Revised Version, an open place.

Abundant riches and honour give large opportunities of doing good, but they are attended with many snares and temptations. Men do not know much of the artifices of Satan and the deceitfulness of their own hearts, when they covet riches with the idea of being able to do good with them. What can hurt those whom God will protect? What can shelter those whom God will destroy? Jehoshaphat is safe in his robes, Ahab killed in his armour; for the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. We should be cautious of entangling ourselves in the worldly undertakings of evil men; and still more we should avoid engaging in their sinful projects. But, when they call upon him, God can and will bring his faithful people out of the difficulties and dangers into which they have sinfully run themselves. He has all hearts in his hand, so that he easily rescues them. Blessed is the man that putteth his trust in the Lord.Jump to Previous Arrayed Clothed Either Entering Entrance Floor Gate Israel Jehoshaphat Jehosh'aphat Judah Open Prophesied Prophesying Prophets Robes Samaria Sama'ria Sat Sitting Threshing Threshing-Floor Throne Thrones VoidJump to Next Arrayed Clothed Either Entering Entrance Floor Gate Israel Jehoshaphat Jehosh'aphat Judah Open Prophesied Prophesying Prophets Robes Samaria Sama'ria Sat Sitting Threshing Threshing-Floor Throne Thrones VoidLinks 2 Chronicles 18:9 NIV2 Chronicles 18:9 NLT 2 Chronicles 18:9 ESV 2 Chronicles 18:9 NASB 2 Chronicles 18:9 KJV 2 Chronicles 18:9 Bible Apps 2 Chronicles 18:9 Biblia Paralela 2 Chronicles 18:9 Chinese Bible 2 Chronicles 18:9 French Bible 2 Chronicles 18:9 German Bible Alphabetical: all and arrayed at before by Dressed each entrance floor gate his in Israel Jehoshaphat Judah king Now of on prophesying prophets robes royal Samaria sitting the their them they threshing throne thrones to were with OT History: 2 Chronicles 18:9 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat (2 Chron. 2Ch iiCh ii ch 2 chr 2chr) Christian Bible Study Resources, Dictionary, Concordance and Search Tools |
