2 KINGS CHAPTER 1
Moab rebelleth against Israel, 2Ki_1:1. Ahaziah being sick sendeth to Baal-zebub; Elijah foretelleth his death, 2Ki_1:2-4. Ahaziah hearing it, sendeth twice captains of fifty, to bring Elijah to him; upon whom he bringeth fire from heaven, 2Ki_1:5-12. The third captain entreateth Elijah; who, encouraged by an angel, goeth and telleth the king of his death, 2Ki_1:13-16. Jehoram succeedeth him, 2Ki_1:17,18.
Moab; which had been subdued by David, 2Sa_8:2, as Edom was; and upon the division of this kingdom into two Moab was adjoined to that of Israel, and Edom to that of Judah, each to that kingdom upon which it bordered. And when the kingdoms of Israel and Judah were weak and forsaken by God, they took that opportunity to revolt from them; Moab here, and Edom a little after it.
