2 Chron. 15:1–7 Azariah is not otherwise known. His speech is intended to encourage Asa to continue his reforms and lead the people into covenant renewal. If you seek him. See 1 Chron. 28:9. The theme of “seeking the Lord” appears throughout 2 Chronicles 15 (vv. 4, 12, 13, 15). Verses 3–6 call to mind the unstable time of the judges.
2 Chron. 15:8 Cities that he had taken in . . . Ephraim implies that there had been conflict between Judah and Israel prior to the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign (see note on 16:1).
2 Chron. 15:10 the third month of the fifteenth year. Probably May/June 895 b.c.
2 Chron. 15:12 This was essentially a renewal of the Sinai covenant (Exodus 19–20; 24). It gave the people an opportunity to affirm their total commitment to Yahweh.
2 Chron. 15:13 whoever would not seek the Lord . . . should be put to death. See Deut. 13:6–10 and 17:2–7.
2 Chron. 15:16 The queen mother served as an adviser to the king and a teacher of the royal children. The brook Kidron, or the “Kidron Valley,” is just outside Jerusalem. See 29:16; 30:14.
2 Chron. 15:17 The high places were not taken out of Israel probably refers to those cities that previously belonged to the northern kingdom and were then under Asa’s control. In Judah, Asa’s reforms had been much more successful (14:3, 5). the heart of Asa was wholly true all his days (see 1 Kings 15:14). This is the overall assessment, despite the decline of his last years.
