Commentary

Commentary on 2 Chronicles 26:19

Theological / Devotional

Was wroth. One sin almost invariably leads to another. The priests were doing their duty in endeavoring to restrain the king from offering sacrifice. But that he, the king, should be thus restrained filled him with violent wrath.

Leprosy even rose up. While the king stood before the Lord with his heart filled with wrath and rebellion, a visitation from God came upon him. Smitten with leprosy, he realized with horror that the hand of God had touched him.
