Commentary on 2 Chronicles 21:9

Theological / Devotional

Smote the Edomites. This is evidently a report, not of a victory, but of Jehoram’s desperate escape by cutting his way out of an encirclement by Edomite forces. In the parallel passage, 2 Kings 8:21, the detail is added that “the people fled into their tents.” Jehoram did not succeed in reducing Edom but was fortunate to be able to make his escape.
