Joseph Benson’s Bible Commentary

2 Chronicles 29:8,9

He hath delivered them to trouble to astonishment, and to hissing To such calamities as all that see and hear of them shall be astonished at, and hiss at those who, by their own sin and folly, have brought such miseries upon themselves. When we are under the rebukes of God's providence, it is good for us to inquire whether we have not neglected God's ordinances, and whether that be not the controversy he has with us. Our wives are in captivity Though they were presently released, 2 Chronicles 28:5; 2 Chronicles 28:14.
