Commentary on 2 Chronicles 21:11

Theological / Devotional

Made high places. Jehoram’s predecessors, Asa and Jehoshaphat, had removed the high places (chs. 14:3; 17:6).

To commit fornication. Under the influence of his wife Athaliah, daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, Jehoram encouraged the worship of heathen gods in Judah. Such worship involved participation in the immoral practices of the native Canaanite cults (see Vol. II, pp. 38-41).
