Commentary on 2 Chronicles 20:37

Theological / Devotional

Eliezer. This seems to be the only Biblical reference to this prophet.

Mareshah. A town in the Shephelah (see 2 Chron. 11:8; Joshua 15:44; Micah 1:15).

Joined thyself. The record in Chronicles places emphasis on the mistake of Jehoshaphat in associating himself with the king of Israel (v. 35), whereas the writer of Kings refers to this alliance only incidentally (1 Kings 22:48, 49).
