2 CHRON. XIX, XX.

[Iehoshaphat. 20] [Iehoram. 3] [Division. 79] JEHOSHAPHAT refor∣meth his Kingdom and set∣teth up Judges throughout the Land.

[World 3109] [Iehoshaphat. 21] [Iehoram. 4] [Division. 80] Jehoshaphat hath a miraculous victory against Moab, Ammon 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 and the inha∣bitants of Mount Seir that lay upon Animon borders, for the rest of Edom rebelled not yet. See 2 King. 8. 20. These people are elswhere called 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Maonites, Judg. 10. 12. or Mehunims, 2 Chron. 26. 7. and so should they be expressed in 1 Chron. 4. 41. And these written by name came in the days of Hezckiah King of Judah, and smote their Tents, and the Maonites that were found there: The LXX renders it well there, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉: And they are called 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 here, and 2 Chron. 26. 8. either by inversion of the word 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 into 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, which kind of thing is very common in Scripture [as Heres and Serah, Josh. 24. 30. compared with Judg. 2. 9. Beta, and Tibath. Compare 2 Sam. 8. 8. with 1 Chron. 18. 8. Eliam and Ammiel, 2 Sam. 11. 3. compared with 1 Chron. 3. 5. and abundance more that might be alleadged] or because of their mixture with the Ammonites in their habitation, as Midianites, and Ishmaelites are all one, Gen. 37. And observe how roundly the Text comes off with this inversion, and how clearly it argues this cohabitation, 2 Chron. 26. 7, 8. And God helped Uzziah against the 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Mahunims, and the 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah. This company that came against Jehoshaphat, is said to come from beyond the Sea from Syria, ver. 2. now this Sea was the dead Sea, as it appeareth by the words im∣mediately following, and behold, they be in Hazazan-Tamar which is En∣gedi, which lay upon the Southern point of the dead Sea: Now neither that place, nor these mens Country were in Syria, but that in Canaan, and their Country in Arabia; and therefore when it said they came from Syria, it is to be understood they came in the King of Syrias quarrel, and upon his war, which he now raised upon Jehoshaphat, to be avenged on him for taking part with Ahab at Ramoth Gilead.
