2 Chronicles Chapter 10

2 Chronicles 10:4

ch2 10:4

Grievous - It is probable, when Solomon had declined from God, that God left him to himself to act thus impolitically.

2 Chronicles 10:7

ch2 10:7

If thou be kind, &c. - Moderate counsels are generally best. Gentleness will do what violence will not do. Good words cost nothing but a little self - denial, and yet they purchase great things.

2 Chronicles 10:16

ch2 10:16

See to thine own house - When public affairs are in a ferment, violent proceedings do but make ill worse. Many have been driven to the mischief they did not intend, by being too severely dealt with.
