**In the, &c.** This chapter is complementary to [1 Kings 15:17-24](../../../kjv/1-kings/15/17-24) . six and thirtieth. The thirty-sixth year of the kingdom: i.e. from the disruption of the kingdom of Judah. This agrees with all the other dates and lengths of reigns. See App-50 and note on p. 57.
**reign.** See note on [2 Chronicles 15:19](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/15/19) .
**came up against.** There had been quiet between the two kingdoms as such ([2 Chronicles 14:1](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/14/1) ; [2 Chronicles 15:19](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/15/19) ), though there had been border fighting ([1 Kings 15:16](../../../kjv/1-kings/15/16) , [1 Kings 15:32](../../../kjv/1-kings/15/32) ).
**let none go out.** This shows that there was a tide of population streaming into Judah from Israel. See note on *1* Kings 2Ch 12:17 .

**treasures** = treasuries.
**the LORD.** Hebrew. *Jehovah.* App-4 .

**There is.** Supply *ellipsis* ( App-6 ) by "Let there be".

**store cities** = the storehouses of the cities. Septuagint reads "the surrounding cities".

**Hanani.** Compare [1 Kings 16:1](../../../kjv/1-kings/16/1) , 1Ki 16:7 ; [1 Kings 19:2](../../../kjv/1-kings/19/2) ; [1 Kings 20:34](../../../kjv/1-kings/20/34) .
**seer.** Hebrew. *ra* ' *ah* . See note on [1 Chronicles 29:29](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/29/29) .
**Because.** Compare similar protests against resting on foreign alliances ([Isaiah 30:1](../../../kjv/isaiah/30/1) ; [Isaiah 31:1](../../../kjv/isaiah/31/1) ).
**God.** Hebrew. *Elohim.* App-4 .

**Were not. ?** Figure of speech *Erotesis.*

**the eyes of the LORD.** Figure of speech *Anthropopatheia.* Compare [Proverbs 15:3](../../../kjv/proverbs/15/3) .[Job 34:21](../../../kjv/job/34/21) .[Psalms 139:2](../../../kjv/psalms/139/2) .[Jeremiah 16:17](../../../kjv/jeremiah/16/17) . [Zechariah 4:10](../../../kjv/zechariah/4/10) .
**perfect** = whole, as in [Deuteronomy 27:6](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/27/6) .

**wroth with the seer.** One of the eleven rulers offended with God's servants. See note on [Exodus 10:28](../../../kjv/exodus/10/28) .

**behold . . . lo.** Figure of speech *Asterismos.*

**sought not.** Contrast Hezekiah ([2 Kings 20:2](../../../kjv/2-kings/20/2) .[Isaiah 38:2](../../../kjv/isaiah/38/2) , [Isaiah 38:3](../../../kjv/isaiah/38/3) .)
**physicians** = healers. First occurrence of mention of them among the Hebrews. These belonged to the priestly tribe, with traditional knowledge, more or less superstitious. Compare [Job 13:4](../../../kjv/job/13/4) . In NT. we have Luke ([Colossians 4:14](../../../kjv/colossians/4/14) ).

**slept with his fathers.** See note on [Deuteronomy 31:16](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/31/16) .

**sepulchres** = a great sepulchre. Plural of majesty.
**made for himself.** Not infrequently done. Compare [Matthew 27:60](../../../kjv/matthew/27/60) . [John 19:38-42](../../../kjv/john/19/38-42) .
**sweet odours and divers kinds.** Figure of speech *Hendiadys* ( App-6 ), emphasizing the many kinds of odours. Omit "of spices".
**very great burning:** i.e. of the odours previously mentioned, but not of incense, or of the sin offering. Compare [2 Chronicles 21:19](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/21/19) . Heb, *saraph.* App-43 .
