Context — Jehoram’s Disease and Death
14So behold, the LORD is about to strike your people, your sons, your wives, and all your possessions with a serious blow.
15And day after day you yourself will suffer from a severe illness, a disease of your bowels, until it causes your bowels to come out.’”
16Then the LORD stirred against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and Arabs who lived near the Cushites.
17So they went to war against Judah, invaded it, and carried off all the possessions found in the king’s palace, along with his sons and wives; not a son was left to him except Jehoahaz, his youngest. 18After all this, the LORD afflicted Jehoram with an incurable disease of the bowels.Cross References

2 Chronicles 21:16 Summary
This verse tells us that God stirred up the Philistines and Arabs to fight against King Jehoram, which was a form of judgment for his wicked ways. This shows us that God is in control of all things, even the actions of nations, and that He uses them to accomplish His purposes (as seen in Isaiah 10:5-7). Just like Jehoram, we can face consequences for our actions, but God is always working to bring us back to Himself, as seen in Jeremiah 29:11. By trusting in God's sovereignty and obeying His commands, we can avoid His judgment and experience His blessing instead (Deuteronomy 28:1-2).
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did God stir up the Philistines and Arabs against Jehoram?
God stirred up the Philistines and Arabs against Jehoram as a form of judgment for his wicked ways, as seen in 2 Chronicles 21:16, similar to how He used other nations to judge Israel in the past, such as in Judges 3:1-4
Who are the Cushites mentioned in this verse?
The Cushites were a people group that lived near the Philistines and Arabs, and their location is significant in understanding the geography of the region, as mentioned in 2 Chronicles 21:16 and also in other passages like Genesis 10:6-8
Is this verse saying that God is the one who causes war and conflict?
While God is sovereign over all things, including war and conflict, this verse is highlighting how He uses the actions of nations to accomplish His purposes, as seen in Isaiah 10:5-7, where God uses the Assyrians to judge Israel
How does this verse relate to the overall story of 2 Chronicles?
This verse is part of a larger narrative about the kingdom of Judah, and specifically about the reign of King Jehoram, highlighting God's judgment on his wickedness, as seen in 2 Chronicles 21:1-20
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that God might be stirring up 'enemies' in my life to get my attention, and how should I respond?
- How can I trust God's sovereignty in the midst of conflict or difficulty, as seen in this verse and in other passages like Romans 8:28-30?
- In what ways am I like King Jehoram, and how can I learn from his mistakes to avoid God's judgment?
- What does this verse teach me about the importance of obedience to God's commands, and how can I apply that to my life today?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Chronicles 21:16
Moreover, the Lord stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines,.... Which had been depressed in the times of Jehoshaphat, to whom they brought their presents and tribute willingly, 2
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 21:16
The Philistines; a people fully subdued and dispirited; but God now raiseth their spirits and courage to do his work. Near the Ethiopians, Heb. near the Cushites, i.e. either the Ethiopians, from whom they were parted only by the Red Sea, each dwelling upon the opposite shores of it; or rather, a people in Arabia, frequently mentioned in Scripture, and so called, either for their likeness in colour and complexion to the Ethiopians properly so called, or because the one of these people were a colony of the other. But the Ethiopians above Egypt were far enough from these other Arabians, being separated from them by the Red Sea.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 21:16
2 Chronicles 21:16 Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that [were] near the Ethiopians:Ver. 16. Moreover the Lord stirred up.] And so fulfilled all that Elijah had foretold: why is he not then better believed? If some astrologer had once or twice prognosticated, and it proved true, he should be much cried up and credited. And shall not God’ s prophets be so? "Believe the prophets, and ye shall prosper." But many believe them no otherwise than they do the predictions of an almanac, if so much. And of the Arabians.] The inhabitants of Arabia Felix and Petraea. These were instigated, likely, by the Edomites, whom Jehoram sought to reduce, but could not.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 21:16
(16) Moreover.—And, here equivalent to so.The Lord stirred up against Jehoram.—Isaiah 13:17. The phrase, “stirred up the spirit”—i.e., the will—of a man to an undertaking, is found in Jeremiah 51:11; Haggai 1:14 (Comp. 1 Chronicles 5:26; Ezra 1:1.) The Philistines, and of the Arabians.—These are mentioned together elsewhere as enemies of Judah. (See 2 Chronicles 26:7; 2 Chronicles 17:11; Jeremiah 25:20.) The invasion of the Philistines and Arabians accords with Joe 3:4-6, and is certainly historical (Thenius on 2 Kings 8:23-24). That were near the Ethiopians.—Literally, At the hand of (i.e., beside) the Cushites. Some tribes. of southern Arabia. There were Cushite settlements on both sides of the Red Sea. LXX., well: τοὺςἌραβαςκαὶτοὺςὁμόρουςτῶνΑἰθιόπων; Vulg., “qui confines sunt Aethiopum.”
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 21:16
Verse 16. The Philistines, and - the Arabians] We have no other account of this war. Though it was a predatory war, yet it appears to have been completely ruinous and destructive. What a general curse fell upon this bad king; in his body, soul, substance, family, and government!

Barnes' Notes on 2 Chronicles 21:16
The Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians - Probably Joktanian Arabs from the neighborhood of the Cushites.
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 21:16
16. The Philistines, and… Arabians — These nations had been tributary to Jehoshaphat, (2 Chronicles 17:11,) but under his wicked son they revolted, and Jehovah used them as his rod of anger to punish Jehoram, as he had foretold.
