Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on 2 Chronicles 32:2-8.


2 Chronicles 32:5-6

_ _ he strengthened himself — He made a careful inspection of the city defenses for the purpose of repairing breaches in the wall here, renewing the masonry there, raising projecting machines to the towers, and especially fortifying the lower portion of Zion, that is, Millo, “(in) the original city of David.” “In” is a supplement of our translators, and the text reads better without it, for it was not the whole city that was repaired, but only the lower portion of Zion, or the original “city of David.”


2 Chronicles 32:6

_ _ he ... gathered them together ... in the street — that is, the large open space at the gate of Eastern cities. Having equipped his soldiers with a full suit of military accoutrements, he addressed them in an animated strain, dwelling on the motives they had to inspire courage and confidence of success, especially on their consciousness of the favor and helping power of God.
