2 Chronicles 18:7
I. What an appalling illustration is this of the fact that men love to be flattered and encouraged, even at the expense of everything holy and true!
II. What a vivid illustration is this of the sublime function of an incorruptible truth-teller! (1) No wicked man should be quite easy in the sanctuary. (2) Do you suppose that it is pleasant for a minister to be always opposing any man? (3) A man is not your enemy because he tells you the truth.
III. What a striking instance is this of the Lord giving a man up to the devices of his own wicked heart, and letting him take his own ruinous way!
Parker, The Ark of God, p. 281.
