Commentary
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 20:2
Theological / DevotionalThe sea. The Dead Sea. Ammon and Moab were east of this sea and Seir was to the south.
On this side Syria. Literally, “from ’Aram.” One Hebrew manuscript reads ’Edom, “from Edom,” and this is probably the original reading, inasmuch as the invaders approached from the south, around the southern end of the Dead Sea, where they would naturally be described as coming from Edom. In consonantal Hebrew the words for Syria and Edom are sometimes confused, since they differ in only one letter, and the two letters are very similar in appearance (see on 2 Sam. 8:12).
Hazazon-tamar. A city in the Dead Sea area (see Gen. 14:7).
En-gedi. A fountain and town near the middle of the west shore of the Dead Sea. The spring bursting from a cliff creates an oasis with a rich vegetation (see on Joshua 15:61).
