Commentary

Commentary on 2 Chronicles 26:10

Theological / Devotional

In the desert. That is, in the grazing areas. The towers were for protection against marauding bands of Bedouins.

Plains. Heb. mishor, “level ground,” sometimes applied to the fertile tableland between the Arnon and Heshbon (see Deut. 3:10; 4:43; Joshua 13:9, 16, 17, 21; 20:8; Jer. 48:8, 21), but here a territory in Judah is evidently referred to.

Carmel. This word should probably be translated “orchards.” However, there was a place called Carmel in Judah 7 mi. south of Hebron.
