• This division into two books does not form part of the inspired text, which originally formed but one book in the Hebrew canon. As we are mentioning this subject in passing, we would add for our readers that one of the great divisions of the Old Testament, “The Prophets,” included besides the books of the prophets proper with exception of Daniel and Lamentations, all the books from Joshua through the books of Kings except for the book of Ruth. The mere title, “The Prophets,” enlightens us about the authors of the historical books with which we are occupied. (“Meditations on 2 Kings: Introduction” by H.L. Rossier)
• The rebellion of Moab against Israel is the first consequence of Ahaziah’s unfaithfulness (see 1 Kings 22:52-54). It is a judgment upon the king who by his idolatry had provoked God to anger. (“Elijah and Ahaziah: 2 Kings 1” by H.L. Rossier)
• Moab, chastised by Saul (1 Sam. 14:47), then subjugated by David (2 Sam. 8:2, 12; 1 Chron. 18:2), had been subject under the glorious reign of Solomon, like all the other kingdoms which brought their tribute to the king sitting upon his throne in Jerusalem (1 Kings 4:21; 10:25). Since the division of the twelve tribes, Moab, by reason of its geographic position, had become tributary to Israel rather than to Judah (2 Kings 3:5). Its tribute (100,000 lambs and 100,000 rams with their wool), enormous for such a limited country, must have weighed heavily upon it, to say nothing of the humiliation impatiently suffered by this proud and haughty nation. Thus it is not surprising that Moab should seize upon the first occasion to free itself. But above the external fact which strikes man’s attention, the believer sees something invisible, the only important thing for him —the hand of God stretched forth to judge the people and their ungodly leader. (“Elijah and Ahaziah: 2 Kings 1” by H.L. Rossier)
