JEHOS APHAT BECOMES A POWERFUL SOVEREIGN.

(10) The fear of the Lord.--A dread of Jehovah (pachad), aps. 14:13, 20:29. (Comp. Exodus 15:16; 1Samuel 11:7; Isaiah 2:10. ) This phrase is not peculiar to the chronicler, as Keil and Bertheau assert. "The kingdoms of the lands" is so (2Chronicles 12:8; 1Chronicles 29:30). . . .

Verse 10. - The moral effect of this peaceful war of Jehoshaphat is manifestly great.
