This chapter
gives some account of the two tribes and a half seated on the
east side of Jordan. They were made captives by the king of
Assyria, because they had forsaken the Lord. Only two
things are here recorded concerning these tribes.
-
They
all shared in a victory. Happy is that people who live
in harmony together, who assist each other against the
common enemies of their souls, trusting in the Lord, and
calling upon him.
-
They
shared in captivity. They would have the best land,
not considering that it lay most exposed. The desire of
earthly objects draws to a distance from God's ordinances,
and prepares men for destruction.
