Commentary on 2 Chronicles 21:10

Theological / Devotional

Unto this day. Amaziah later gained a measure of success in Edom (ch. 25:11-15), but this seems not to have been permanent. Under John Hyrcanus, in the 2d century B.C., the Edomites (then living in southern Judah) were once more reduced to vassalage.

Forsaken the Lord God. This detail is not found in the parallel passage of 2 Kings 8:22, which states merely that Libnah revolted. Libnah was in the lowland of Judah near Makkedah and Lachish (Joshua 10:29-31), near the Philistine border, but its site is uncertain. It is probably to be identified with Tell es-Safi. Its revolt was no doubt aided by Philistine attacks on Judah under Jehoram (2 Chron. 21:16, 17).
