1 Chronicles - 5:25 Meaning
“And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before them.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
5:1-26 Genealogies. - This chapter gives some account of the two tribes and a half seated on the east side of Jordan. They were made captives by the king of Assyria, because they had forsaken the Lord. Only two things are here recorded concerning these tribes. 1. They all shared in a victory. Happy is that people who live in harmony together, who assist each other against the common enemies of their souls, trusting in the Lord, and calling upon him. 2. They shared in captivity. They would have the best land, not considering that it lay most exposed. The desire of earthly objects draws to a distance from God's ordinances, and prepares men for destruction.
“But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;”
