This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Ki_8:19 Yet the LORD would not destroy Judah for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give him alway a light, [and] to his children.
Ver. 19. To give him alway a light.] i.e., A successor, till Shiloh should come. {Luk_1:31} For although the Maccabees, who were of another tribe, bore sway for a season; yet at the same time, as Calvin well observeth, sat the Synedrium, who were of David’s posterity, exercised chief authority, and lasted till Christ’s nativity in great power.
