Mr. Harmer appears to have given a truer view of the subject than commentators in general have done, who suppose that they were conveniences made only for sheltering the shepherds from bad weather, or to defend them from incursions of enemies; for they might rather be designed to keep the nations that pastured there in awe, and also to induce them quietly to pay the tribute to which the 26:8 seems to refer. William of Tyre describes a country not far from the Euphrates as inhabited by Syrian and Armenian Christians, who fed great flocks and herds there, but were kept in subjection to the Turks, in consequence of their living among them in strong places.spread farHeb. went forth, Matthew 4:24 Reciprocal Deuteronomy 20:20 - thou shalt build; 2 Chronicles 11:12 - he put shields; 32:5 - darts; Ezekiel 26:9 - General; Mark 6:14 - his name Verse 16 when he was 2 Chronicles 25:19, 32:25; Deuteronomy 8:14, 8:17, 32:13-15; Proverbs 16:18; Habakkuk 2:4; Colossians 2:18 went into 2 Kings 16:12, 16:13 to burn Numbers 16:1, 16:7, 16:18, 16:35; 1 Kings 12:33, 13:1-4 Reciprocal Exodus 30:1 - an altar; 37:25 - General; Leviticus 10:1 - put incense; Numbers 3:10 - and the stranger; 8:19 - that there; 16:40 - come near; Deuteronomy 17:20 - his heart; 1 Kings 9:25 - he burnt; 2 Kings 14:10 - thine heart; 15:5 - the Lord; 1 Chronicles 13:10 - there he died; 2 Chronicles 4:19 - the golden; 27:2 - he entered not; Ecclesiastes 5:1 - thy foot; Ezekiel 8:11 - every; 28:2 - Because; Daniel 8:8 - when; 11:12 - his heart; Luke 1:9 - his; Acts 4:19 - to hearken; 2 Corinthians 12:7 - lest; 1 Timothy 3:6 - lest; 6:17 - that they; Habakkuk 3:1 - of which; 3:1 - the priests; Revelation 8:3 - stood Verse 17 Azariah 1 Chronicles 6:10 valiant men 12:28, 26:6 Reciprocal 2 Kings 16:11 - built an altar; 2 Chronicles 31:10 - Azariah Verse 18 withstood Uzziah 2 Chronicles 16:7-9, 19:2; Jeremiah 13:18; Matthew 10:18, 10:28, 14:4; 2 Corinthians 5:16; Galatians 2:11 not unto thee Numbers 16:40, 16:46-48, 18:7 to the priests Exodus 30:7, 30:8; Habakkuk 3:1 go out 1 Corinthians 5:5 neither shall it be 1 Samuel 2:30; Daniel 4:37; John 5:44; James 2:1 Reciprocal Exodus 28:1 - take; Deuteronomy 33:10 - they shall put incense; Joshua 22:15 - General; Judges 4:9 - notwithstanding; 1 Kings 13:1 - Jeroboam; 2 Kings 16:11 - built an altar; 1 Chronicles 23:13 - to burn incense; 2 Chronicles 26:23 - they buried him; Habakkuk 3:1 - he should Verse 19 he 2 Chronicles 16:10, 25:16 even Numbers 12:10; 2 Kings 5:27 Reciprocal Leviticus 13:2 - the plague of leprosy; 13:10 - shall see him; 2 Kings 5:1 - a leper; Psalm 38:3 - soundness; Ezekiel 8:11 - every; Matthew 8:2 - a leper; 14:4 - General; Luke 5:12 - full; Habakkuk 3:1 - he should Verse 20 hasted also Esther 6:12 the Lord Leviticus 14:34; Deuteronomy 28:22, 28:35 Reciprocal Leviticus 13:10 - shall see him; Numbers 12:14 - let her be; Deuteronomy 24:9 - Miriam; Ezra 7:5 - chief priest; Luke 5:12 - full; 17:12 - which Verse 21 am Uzziah 2 Kings 15:5 dwelt Leviticus 13:46; Numbers 5:2, 5:3, 12:15; 2 Kings 7:3 severalHeb. freeReciprocal Numbers 12:14 - let her be; Deuteronomy 24:9 - Miriam; Matthew 1:9 - Joatham; Luke 17:12 - which Verse 22 first 2 Chronicles 9:29, 12:15 Isaiah Isaiah 1:1, 6:1 Reciprocal 2 Kings 19:2 - to Isaiah; 2 Chronicles 16:11 - the acts of Asa; 27:7 - Now the rest; 35:27 - deeds Verse 23 am slept 2 Kings 15:6, 15:7 they buried him 2 Chronicles 26:18, 21:20, 28:27, 33:20 Reciprocal 1 Kings 11:43 - buried; 2 Kings 14:20 - he was buried; 15:5 - Jotham; 20:21 - slept; 2 Chronicles 27:7 - Now the rest; Isaiah 6:1 - the year; Acts 13:36 - and was Verse 1 am twenty and five 2 Kings 15:32, 15:33-38; 1 Chronicles 3:12; Isaiah 1:1; Hosea 1:1; Micah 1:1; Matthew 1:9, JoathamReciprocal 1 Chronicles 5:17 - Jotham Verse 2 And he did 2 Chronicles 26:4; 2 Kings 15:34 he entered notHe copied his father's conduct as far as it was pious and constitutional; and avoided his transgression. 2 Chronicles 26:16-21; Psalm 119:120; Acts 5:13 the people 2 Kings 15:35 Reciprocal Nehemiah 1:7 - corruptly; Isaiah 2:8 - is full Verse 3 high gate 2 Chronicles 23:20; Jeremiah 20:2 Ophelor, the tower, "The wall," says the Targum, "of the interior palace."

Some think that they paid this tribute for three years, and then revolted; that, in consequence, he attacked them, and their utter subjection was the result. 2 Chronicles 20:1; Judges 11:4-33; 2 Samuel 10:1-14; Jeremiah 49:1-6 ten thousandRather, "ten thousand cors (korim ) of wheat."

That there was much humanity, as well as firmness, in the heads of the children of Ephraim, who joined with the prophet of Jehovah on this occasion, their subsequent conduct, as detailed in the 2 Chronicles 28:15, sufficiently proves. They did not barely dismiss these most unfortunate captives, but they took that very spoil which their victorious army had taken, and with clothed, shod, fed, and anointed these distressed people, set the feeblest of them upon asses, and escorted them safely to Jericho! We can scarcely find a parallel to this in the universal history of the wars which savage man has carried on against his fellows from the foundation of the world. The compliance also of the whole army, in leaving both the captives and spoil to the disposal of the princes, was really wonderful, and perhaps unparalleled in history.

But it is impossible to suppose that an inspired author should say this; for the Scripture every where represents the heathen idols as nothing and vanity, and as incapable of doing either good or hurt. All difficulty is avoided if we follow the old Hebrew copies, from which the Greek translation was made: "And king Ahaz said, I will seek to the gods of Damascus which have smitten me." 2 Chronicles 25:14; 2 Kings 16:12, 16:13 DamascusHeb.

The Hebrews were accustomed to honour the memory of those kings who had reigned well, by depositing their remains in the royal cemetery. On the contrary, those who died under the disapprobation of the people, as a mark of posthumous disgrace, were denied interment with their predecessors, and were buried in some other place in Jerusalem. So it was with Ahaz, who, though brought into the city, was not buried in the sepulchres of the kings of Judah. It was doubtless with a design to make a suitable impression on the minds of their kings while living, that such distinctions were observed. They might thus restrain them from evil, or excite them to good, according as they were fearful of being execrated, or desirous of being honoured, when dead.Reciprocal 1 Kings 11:43 - buried; 2 Kings 16:20 - buried; 18:1 - Hezekiah; 21:18 - and was buried; 2 Chronicles 24:25 - not; Nehemiah 2:3 - the place; Isaiah 14:28 - General; Matthew 1:9 - Ezekias Verse 1 am Hezekiah 2 Kings 18:1-3; 1 Chronicles 3:13; Isaiah 1:1; Hosea 1:1; Micah 1:1; Matthew 1:9, 1:10, EzekiasZechariah 2 Chronicles 26:5; Isaiah 8:2 Reciprocal 2 Kings 16:20 - Hezekiah; 18:2 - Abi; Isaiah 29:13 - their fear; Hosea 11:12 - Judah Verse 2 2 Chronicles 28:1, 34:2; 2 Kings 18:3

Then they cleansed the interior of the temple; but, as the Levites had no right to enter the temple, the priests carried all the dirt and rubbish to the porch, whence they were collected by the Levites, carried away, and cast into the brook Kidron: in this work, eight more days were occupied; and thus the temple was purified in sixteen days.the inner part 2 Chronicles 3:8, 5:7; Exodus 26:33, 26:34; 1 Kings 6:19, 6:20; Habakkuk 3:1-9:8, 3:1, 3:1 all the uncleanness Ezekiel 36:29; Matthew 21:12, 21:13, 23:27 Kidron 2 Chronicles 15:16; 2 Kings 23:4-6; John 18:1, CedronReciprocal 1 Kings 2:37 - over the; 2 Chronicles 29:5 - sanctify the house; 30:14 - the brook Verse 17 the porch 2 Chronicles 29:7, 3:4; 1 Kings 6:3; 1 Chronicles 28:11 the sixteenth Exodus 12:2-8

secondly, for the sanctuary, which had been defiled and polluted; and for the priests, who had been profane, negligent, and unholy; and finally, for Judah, for the whole mass of the people, who had been led away into every kind of abomination by the above examples.seven Numbers 23:1, 23:14, 23:29;
