Commentary on 2 Chronicles 20:1
Theological / DevotionalThe children. The narrative of vs. 1-30 is not found in Kings. Verses 31-37 are parallel to 1 Kings 22:41-49.
Other beside the Ammonites. Literally, “from the Ammonites.” Instead of Ammonites the LXX reads “Mehunim,” the same people mentioned in ch. 26:7. Since the Ammonites have already been referred to in the earlier part of the verse, Mehunim is probably the correct reading here. The Mehunim (Melinites, RSV) are believed to have inhabited Ma‘an, 19 mi. (30.4 km.) southeast of Petra, and seem to have occupied the country in the vicinity of Mt. Seir (v. 10).
