• Chapter 10 marks the second division of Chronicles. Its first division has embraced the history of David and Solomon. Until the end of our book we now have the history of the kingdom of Judah, the counterpart of the kingdom of Israel taken up in the books of the Kings. (“Solomon's Successors. the Era of the Prophets: 2 Chronicles 10-36” by H.L. Rossier)
• The decree "Thou art My Son; I this day have begotten thee" (Psa. 2:7), did not relate to him {Solomon}, but directed hope to One greater and more perfect than he. But, in order that this future Son might be "the offspring of David," David's line must be maintained until His appearing; this is why God had promised David "to give to him always a lamp, and to his sons" (2 Chron. 21:7). (“Solomon's Successors. the Era of the Prophets: 2 Chronicles 10-36” by H.L. Rossier)
• The enemy seduces the king and his people to lead them into idolatry; he uses violence in an effort to destroy and wipe out the royal line. But God's watchful care reaches the people's conscience and, when everything seems lost, the Spirit's breath comes to revive the wick that is going out. There are situations where a Joram, an Ahaziah, an Ahaz are so reprobate that they are delivered up to consuming fire, for God Himself, always mindful of "good things," can no longer acknowledge any good in these kings, and everything, absolutely everything, must be judged. The lamp is extinguished; deepest darkness reigns; Satan triumphs, but only in appearance. God preserves a feeble shoot of this reprobate trunk. (“Solomon's Successors. the Era of the Prophets: 2 Chronicles 10-36” by H.L. Rossier)
• Thus Satan's struggle against God results in Satan's confusion. What, then, is the reason for his defeat? One thing explains it: the only thing that Satan, who knows so much, has never thought of nor could think of. The secret which he is ignorant of is grace, for his so cunning intelligence is completely impervious to love. This entire second portion of Chronicles could thus be entitled The history of grace in relation to the kingdom of Judah. (“Solomon's Successors. the Era of the Prophets: 2 Chronicles 10-36” by H.L. Rossier)
• The Spirit of God works even in the dreadfully hardened heart of a Manasseh in order to prolong the royal line of descent a little longer in an offspring (Josiah) who rules according to God's heart. (“Solomon's Successors. the Era of the Prophets: 2 Chronicles 10-36” by H.L. Rossier)
• When kingship failed, prophets appeared and multiplied beyond our ability to count them. Nathan (2 Chron. 9:29); Ahijah the Shilonite (2 Chron. 9:29; 10:15). Iddo the seer (2 Chron. 9:29; 12:15; 13:22). Shemaiah the man of God (2 Chron. 11:2; 12:5,15). Azariah the son of Oded (2 Chron. 15:1), and Oded (2 Chron. 15:8). Hanani the seer (2 Chron. 16:7). Micah (or Micaiah) the son of Imlah (2 Chron. 18:7). Jehu the son of Hanani, the seer (2 Chron. 19:2; 20:34). Jahaziel the son of Zechariah (2 Chron. 20:14).
