The Expositor's Bible: The Books of Chronicles
Bennett, W. H. (William Henry)
Bible. Chronicles -- Commentaries
8 Quoted for _David_ (1 Chron. xxix. 29) and _Solomon_ (2 Chron. ix.
29).
9 Quoted for _David_ (1 Chron. xxix. 29).
10 Quoted for _Rehoboam_ (2 Chron. xii. 15).
11 Quoted for _Jehoshaphat_ (2 Chron. xx. 34).
12 Quoted for _Manasseh_ (2 Chron. xxxiii. 19). “Seers,” A.V., R.V.
Marg., with LXX.; R.V., with Hebrew text, “Hozai.” The passage is
probably corrupt.
13 Quoted for _Solomon_ (2 Chron. ix. 29).
14 Quoted for _Hezekiah_ (2 Chron. xxxii. 32).
15 Quoted for _Joash_ (2 Chron. xxiv. 27).
16 Quoted for _Abijah_ (2 Chron. xiii, 22).
17 Quoted for _Uzziah_ (2 Chron. xxvi. 22).
18 Quoted for _Solomon_ (2 Chron. ix. 29).
19 Cf. pp. 17, 18.
20 2 Chron. xx. 34.
21 Chron. xxxii. 32.
22 R.V. marg.
23 R.V.
_ 24 E.g._, the wars of Jotham (2 Chron. xxvii. 7).
25 2 Chron. xiii. 22; xxiv. 27. The LXX., however, does not read
“Midrash” in either case; and it is quite possible that glosses have
attached themselves to the text of Chronicles.
26 Cf. 2 Sam. vi. 12-20 with 1 Chron. xv., xvi.
27 Cf. 2 Kings xi.; 2 Chron. xxiii.
28 The last two classes are not easily distinguished; but the additions
which introduce the Levitical system into earlier history are
clearly the work of the chronicler or his immediate predecessor, if
such a predecessor be assumed, or were found in somewhat late
sources. This is also probably true of other explanatory matter.
29 Cf. 2 Sam. iv. with 1 Chron. viii. 34, also 2 Sam. vii. 7 with 1
Chron. xvii. 6, and 2 Sam. xvii. 25 with 1 Chron. ii. 17. In both
these instances Chronicles preserves the correct text.
30 Cf. Book II., Chap. IV.

is largely indebted to this standard monograph.

56 Joel i. 15; Isa. xiii. 6. It is not necessary here to discuss either
the etymological or the theological history of these words in their
earliest usage, nor need we do more than recall the fact that
Jehovah was the term in common use as the personal name of the God
of Israel, while El was rare and sometimes generic.
