So at that time
This phrase sets the historical context, indicating a specific period in the narrative of Israel's monarchy. The Hebrew word for "time" here is "עֵת" (et), which often signifies a significant or appointed time. This suggests that the events unfolding are part of God's sovereign timeline, reminding us that God orchestrates history according to His divine plan.

King Jehoram
Jehoram, the son of Ahab and Jezebel, was the king of Israel. His reign is marked by a departure from the extreme idolatry of his parents, yet he did not fully return to the worship of Yahweh. The name "Jehoram" means "Yahweh is exalted," which is ironic given his partial adherence to the faith of his ancestors. This highlights the tension between his royal identity and his spiritual shortcomings, serving as a reminder of the importance of aligning one's life with one's professed beliefs.

set out from Samaria
Samaria was the capital of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, established by King Omri, Jehoram's grandfather. The city was a center of political power and, unfortunately, idolatrous worship. Jehoram's departure from Samaria symbolizes a movement from a place of spiritual compromise, suggesting a potential for change or action. It invites reflection on the need to leave behind spiritual complacency and seek God's guidance in our endeavors.

mobilized all Israel
The phrase "mobilized all Israel" indicates a call to arms, uniting the tribes for a common purpose. The Hebrew root "קָבַץ" (qavats) means to gather or assemble, often used in military contexts. This action reflects the king's authority and the urgency of the situation. Spiritually, it underscores the power of unity among God's people when faced with challenges, reminding believers of the strength found in communal faith and purpose.

(6) The same time.--Literally, in that day; which, in Hebrew, is a much less definite phrase than in English. The time intended is that when the Moabite refusal of tribute was received by Jehoram, who, on his accession, would demand it afresh.

Numbered.--Mustered, made a levy of.

Verse 6. - And King Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time - literally, the same day - and numbered all Israel; rather, mustered or reviewed (ἐπεσκέψατο, LXX.) all Israel. "Numbering" was forbidden (1 Samuel 24:1), and is not here intended, the verb used being פקד, and not מנה.
