This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Ch_20:27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
Ver. 27. And Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them.] Heb., In the head of them. {a} Among the Romans no man was to ride in triumph, unless he had overcome fifty thousand enemies, or except he had got five victories; and then the conqueror in his triumphant chariot rode to the capitol, where in all humility he presented a palm to Jupiter, whereby he acknowledged it was his power whereby the enemy was vanquished. {b} Good Jehoshaphat is here riding in triumph to Jerusalem, there to acknowledge, that not Jupiter, but Jehovah had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
{a} Isid.
{b} Liv., lib. vi. dec. 3.
