Commentary on 2 Chronicles 17:11

Theological / Devotional

Brought Jehoshaphat presents. Probably as tributaries of Judah (see 2 Sam. 8:2).

Brought him flocks. Some of the tribes who lived in the northern Arabian Desert to the east of Judah became tributaries of Jehoshaphat and paid their tribute in kind. Compare the tribute of Mesha of Moab, the king who paid a large assessment in kind to Ahab, the contemporary king in Israel (2 Kings 3:4).
