Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 10. - Libnah... because he had forsaken. The parallel states the revolt of Libnah also, but does not make the closing remark of our verse. Ver. 11 - Caused... to commit fornication. Perhaps the meaning is exclusively here the infidelity of idolatry, but at any rate it includes this.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) Unto this day.--See on 2Chronicles 5:9. The date thus assigned is some time prior to the captivity. No account is taken of Amaziah's reduction of Edom (2Chronicles 25:11-15), which was probably not permanent.The same time also.--Literally, then revolted Libnah at that time. 2Kings 8:22 ends here. The chronicler adds, "from under his (i.e., Jehoram's) hand," and assigns a moral ground for the successful rebellion: "For he had forsaken Jehovah, the God of his fathers." (Thenius can hardly be right in asserting that the chronicler meant to say that Libnah, as a city of the priests, refused obedience to the idolatrous king; nor Hitzig, in explaining the revolt as merely a religious secession. ) He forsook Jehovah, by "walking in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab," i.e., by adopting and popularising the worship of the Tyrian Baal, to please his wife and her people. In those days friendship with an alien race seems to have involved recognition of their gods. (Comp. Amos 1:9 for the alliance between Tyre and Judah.)Libnah.--Syriac, "the Edomites that lived in Libnah."
