Commentary

Notes on 2 Chronicles 13:22 from classic Christian and Jewish commentators (each source and its license shown beneath its notes). The classic Christian expositions comment on the surrounding passage and are grouped to its opening verse, so a note may address several verses; the Jewish commentaries on the Tanakh (Rashi and others) are per-verse, so they appear only where the commentator wrote on this verse.

Trapp's Complete Commentary

John Trapp

2Ch 13:22 And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, [are] written in the story of the prophet Iddo.

Ver. 22. And his ways.] Which were not good. Prodit se libidinosum fuisse; by his many wives he appeareth to have been libidinous, as was also his father.

And his sayings.] His oration, {2Ch 13:5, &c.} which is very artificial, and other apophthegms, as being Solomon’s grandchild, &c.

Adam Clarke's Commentary

Verse 22. Written in the story] במדרש bemidrash, "in the commentary;" this, as far as I recollect, is the first place where a midrash or commentary is mentioned. The margin is right.

His ways, and his sayings] The commentary of the prophet Iddo is lost. What his sayings were we cannot tell; but from the specimen in this chapter, he appears to have been a very able speaker, and one who knew well how to make the best use of his argument.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(22) And his ways and his sayings.—Or works. The same word has just been rendered acts. There is an alliteration in the Hebrew, u-derâkhav u-debhârav.

Story.—Midrash. See margin. For the source here referred to, see Introduction, § 6.

Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary

Works. Protestants, "sayings are written in the story of the prophets Iddo." (Haydock) --- Modross properly means "researches," and was the title of the genealogical work of this prophet, from which this account is probably taken, chap. xii. 15. (Calmet) --- The entire work is not extant. (Menochius)

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible

Daniel D. Whedon

22. The story of the prophet Iddo — Rather, the midrash, or commentary of the prophet Iddo. A work apparently different from that “against Jeroboam,” (2Ch_9:29,) and that “concerning genealogies,” (2Ch_14:15,) by the same prophet. The name would seem to show that it was a prophetical work consisting of comments and moral reflections on the ways and acts of the king. See Introduction.

The Pulpit Commentary

The story of the Prophet Iddo, If this be the same work as that mentioned in it, 2Ch_12:15 (see our note there) is, at any rate, not called by the same title, but by the name well known for memoirs , of Midrash.
