But what Abijah urged concerning the state of religion in Judah was not strictly just; and, as spoken by him, it favoured ostentation. Abijah himself was but an indifferent character; and idolatry was evidently connived at in his days. Yet it was true, that the men of Judah had the priests, ordinances, and worship of Jehovah among them; that there were numbers of pious worshippers in the land; that theirs was the more righteous cause; that Jehovah was on their side as their Captain, while Israel fought against him; and that the presence of the priests with the sacred trumpets was a token of His presence and favour. 11:16,17; Ex 19:5,6; Zec 13:9the priests.Ex 29:1-37; Nu 16:40; 18:1-7 they burn.2:4; Ex 29:38sweet incense.Ex 30:1-10; Le 2:1-3; Nu 16:6,46; Lu 1:9; Re 8:3,4shewbread.Ex 25:30; Le 24:5-9the candlestick.Ex 25:31-39; 27:20,21; Le 24:2-4we keep.Ge 26:5; Nu 9:19; Eze 44:8,15; 48:11 God.Nu 23:21; 1Sa 4:5-7; Isa 8:10; Zec 10:5; Ro 8:31for our captain.De 20:4; Jos 5:13-15; Ps 20:7; Heb 2:10his priests.Nu 10:8,9; 31:6; Jos 6:13-20fight ye.Job 15:25,26; 40:9; Isa 45:9; Jer 50:24; Ac 5:39; 9:4,5ye shall not.24:20; Nu 14:41; De 28:29; Job 9:4; Isa 54:17; Jer 2:37; Eze 17:9 an ambushment.20:22; Jos 8:4; Pr 21:30; Jer 4:22 looked back.Ex 14:10; Jos 8:20; Jud 20:33-43; 2Sa 10:8-14cried.14:11; 18:31; Ps 50:15; 91:5the priests.12 as the men.20:21; Jos 6:16,20; Jud 7:18-22; Ps 47:1,5God smote.14:12; Nu 32:4; Jos 11:8; Jud 4:15; 2Ki 5:1; Ps 118:4-7; Isa 37:36 God delivered.Ge 14:20; De 2:36; 3:3; Jos 10:12; 21:44; Jud 1:4; 11:21; 1Sa 23:7 five hundred.3,12; 28:6; Isa 10:16-19; 37:36; Na 1:5; 1Co 10:22 relied.16:8,9; 20:20; 2Ki 18:5; 1Ch 5:20; Ps 22:4,5; 146:5; Da 3:28; Na 1:7Eph 1:12 took cities.Jos 10:19,39; 11:12; 1Sa 31:7Jeshanah.Jeshanah, according to the Talmud, was not far from Sephoris. Perhaps it is the Migdal-Senna of Eusebius, eight miles north of Jericho. Ephrain.Ephrain, or Ephron, a city of Benjamin, is placed by Eusebius, eight miles north of Jerusalem, near Bethel. Josephus calls Ephrain and Bethel two little cities; and places the former in the tribe of Benjamin, near the wilderness of Judea, in the way to Jericho. 15:8; Jos 15:9Ephron.Joh 11:54 did.Ps 18:37,38Lord.1Sa 25:38; 26:10; Eze 24:16; Ac 12:23he died.1Ki 14:20; 15:9 waxed.2Sa 5:12,13fourteen wives.11:21begat.Jud 8:30,31; 9:5; 10:4 story. or, commentary.
