Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Chronicles 14

Clinging to a Counterfeit Cross
Verse 1

Quiet - There was no open war, but there were private hostilities between his and Baasha's subjects.


Verse 6

The land had rest - Those have rest indeed, to whom God gives rest; peace indeed, to whom Christ gives peace. We find by experience, it is good to seek the Lord. While we pursue the world, we meet with nothing but vexation.


Verse 7

Before us - In our power.


Verse 9

Ethiopian - Or, the Arabian, as the Hebrew word Cush is commonly used: these being much nearer to Asa than the Ethiopians.


Verse 11

Let not man prevail - If he prevails against us, he prevails, as it were, against thee; because thou art our God. And we rest on thee, and go forth in thy name, which thou hast encouraged us to do.


Verse 12

Smote - With terror, and an unaccountable consternation.


Verse 14

Smote the cities - because they had joined, with Zerah in this war.
