2 CHRONICLES—NOTE ON 2 Chronicles 19:1 This is the Chronicler’s own addition to 1 Kings 22:1. Jehu the son of Hanani ministered in the days of Baasha, king of Israel (1 Kings 16:1). His criticism of Jehoshaphat for his alliance with the ungodly Ahab echoes his criticism of the wicked Baasha (1 Kings 16:7). Love here refers to the commitment to support a treaty. God’s wrath may be avoided or lessened by repentance (see 2 Chronicles 12:7; 2 Chronicles 32:25).
