2 Chronicles 15:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 15:6

And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city
Or one tribe of another; as the Ephraimites by the Gileadites, and the tribe of Benjamin by the other tribes; and Shechem by Abimelech, ( Judges 9:45 ) ( 12:6 ) ( Judges 20:21 Judges 20:24 Judges 20:44-48 ) ,

for God did vex them with all adversity;
both with foreign enemies and civil wars; and now it is intimated that this would be their case again, should they not keep close to the Lord their God.

2 Chronicles 15:6 In-Context

4 but when in their distress they turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.
5 In those times it was not safe for anyone to go or come, for great disturbances afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands.
6 They were broken in pieces, nation against nation and city against city, for God troubled them with every sort of distress.
7 But you, take courage! Do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded."
8 When Asa heard these words, the prophecy of Azariah son of Oded, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the towns that he had taken in the hill country of Ephraim. He repaired the altar of the Lord that was in front of the vestibule of the house of the Lord.
