Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Chronicles 10

Clinging to a Counterfeit Cross
Verse 4

Grievous - It is probable, when Solomon had declined from God, that God left him to himself to act thus impolitically.


Verse 7

If thou be kind, &c. - Moderate counsels are generally best. Gentleness will do what violence will not do. Good words cost nothing but a little self - denial, and yet they purchase great things.


Verse 16

See to thine own house - When public affairs are in a ferment, violent proceedings do but make ill worse. Many have been driven to the mischief they did not intend, by being too severely dealt with.
