The Schism of the Ten Tribes
2 Chronicles 15:3-4
Now for a long season Israel has been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.…


These words —

I. SUGGEST A WARNING. A land "without teaching priests" soon realises the rest of the text by becoming "without the true God, and without law."

II. GIVE ENCOURAGEMENT to send "teaching priests" on their holy mission to bring the people "to the law and to the testimony," so that they may hear "the whole counsel of God."

(Joseph B. Owen, M.A.)
