Verses:
14:1 | Quiet - There was no open war, but there were private hostilities between his and Baasha's subjects. | 14:6 | 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. | 14:7 | Before us - In our power. | 14:9 | Ethiopian - Or, the Arabian, as the Hebrew word Cush is commonly used: these being much nearer to Asa than the Ethiopians. | 14:11 | 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. | 14:12 | Smote - With terror, and an unaccountable consternation. | 14:14 | Smote the cities - because they had joined, with Zerah in this war. |
