Ministry on This Verse

A.M. 3092.
B.C. 912.
he sent.In these verse we have an account of a remarkable itinerant ministry established by Jehoshaphat, in which three classes of men were employed:
1.
the Princes; 2.
the Levites; 3.
the Priests.
We may presume that the Princes instructed the people in the nature of the civil law and constitution of the kingdom; that the Levites instructed them in every thing that appertained to the temple service, and ritual law; and that the Priests instructed them in the nature and design of their religion.
Thus the nation became thoroughly instructed in their duty to God, to the king, and to each other; they therefore became as one man; and against a people thus united, on such principles, no enemy could be successful.
