SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:3
Y su padre les había dado muchos dones de oro y de plata, y cosas preciosas, y ciudades fuertes en Judá; mas había dado el reino a Joram, porque él era el primogénito.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Chronicles 21:3
Verse 3. The kingdom gave he to Jehoram] He made him co- partner with himself in the kingdom about three years before his death; so that he reigned only five years after the death of his father Jehoshaphat. See the notes on 2 Kings viii. 16, &c.; and on the same, chap. i. 17, where an attempt is made to settle this disturbed chronology.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things , etc.] As jewels and precious stones; or precious garments, as the Targum, in like manner as Abraham gave to his sons, when he sent them from Isaac: with fenced cities in Judah ; not as their own property, but he appointed them governors in them, to defend them against an enemy, and as a mark of honour to them: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram , because he was the firstborn; strictly observing the law in ( Deuteronomy 21:16,17), which was not always done; though it was reckoned by the Heathens contrary to the law of nations to give the kingdom to the younger f76 .
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - Jehoram hated his brethren, and slew them, for the same reason tha Cain hated Abel, and slew him, because their piety condemned his impiety. In the mystery of Providence such men sometimes prosper for time; but the Lord has righteous purposes in permitting such events part of which may now be made out, and the rest will be seen hereafter.
