7<\/strong>. the Lord<\/em> is not with Israel<\/em> ] Cp. 2Ch 13:8-12<\/span>.<\/p>\n Verse 7<\/span>. The Lord<\/B><\/I> is <\/B>not with Israel<\/B><\/I>] “The WORD of the Lord is not the helper of the Israelites, nor of the kingdom of the tribe of Ephraim.” – Targum<\/I>.<\/P> <\/p>\n The Lord is not with Israel; <\/B>he hath forsaken them, and for their sakes will curse thy forces, if thou joinest thyself with them. <\/P> <\/p>\n 7, 8. there came a man of God<\/B>sentto dissuade Amaziah from the course he was following, on the groundthat “the Lord is not with Israel.” This statement wasperfectly intelligible to the king. But the historian, writing longafter, thought it might require explanation, and therefore added thecomment, “with all the children of Ephraim.” Idolatry hadlong been the prevailing religion in that kingdom, and Ephraim itsheadquarters. As to the other part of the prophet’s advice (2Ch25:8<\/span>), considerable obscurity hangs over it, as the text stands;and hence some able critics have suggested the insertion of “not”in the middle clause, so that the verse will be thus: “But ifthou wilt go [alone], do, be strong for the battle; God shall not<\/I>make thee fall before the enemy.”<\/P><\/p>\n But there came a man of God to him<\/strong>,…. Who the Jews say f was the brother of the king, Amos, the father of Isaiah, but without foundation:<\/p>\n saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee<\/strong>; to war against Edom; meaning the 100,000 men he had hired, and suggesting that to have them with him would not be to his advantage, but his detriment, for the following reason:<\/p>\n for the Lord is not with Israel<\/strong>, to wit,<\/p>\n with all the children of Ephraim<\/strong>; they being idolaters, worshippers of the calves; and as they had forsaken the Lord, he had forsaken them; therefore no help could be expected from them; the Targum is,<\/p>\n “the Word of the Lord is not their help.”<\/p>\n f Seder Olam Rabba, c. 20. Shalshalet Hakabala, fol. 11. 2.<\/p>\n (7) The Lord is not with Israel.<\/strong>Comp. 2Ch. 19:2<\/span>; 2Ch. 20:37<\/span>; also 2Ch. 16:7<\/span>.<\/p>\n To wit, with all the children of Ephraim.<\/strong>Added as an explanation of the term Israel.<\/em> Ephraim was the name of the northern kingdom (Hos. 5:11<\/span>; Hos. 5:14<\/span>; Hos. 6:4<\/span>, and passim<\/em>). Observe how very gracious the Lord was, to send a message for safety to such a character as Amaziah. Yes! in the worst of times the Lord hath an eye to his people. Nevertheless (saith God) I wrought for my name’s sake. Eze 20:22<\/span> . There is a blessed nevertheless whereby the Lord will look with mercy upon his people for his great name’s sake, and for his covenant righteousness sake, with his dear Son. How beautiful a thought is introduced in the midst of this treaty between the man of God and the king; of God’s all-sufficiency in making up all our losses which we at any time sustain in obeying his voice. Reader, do not fail to remark this as you go along. The indignation of the distressed army, and the revenge they took, may serve to teach us what dreadful effects break out among the carnal: potsherds striving with potsherds. Alas! did not the Lord restrain, what would be the bloodshed deluging the earth, from the proud, imperious, angry passions of man against man!<\/p>\n 2Ch 25:7 But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD [is] not with Israel, [to wit, with] all the children of Ephraim.<\/p>\n Ver. 7. But there came a man of God to him.<\/strong> ] This was, say the Hebrews, a<\/em> Amos, the father of the prophet Isaiah, being brother to Amaziah; but that is but a conjecture. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Let not the army.<\/strong> ] What marvel that Christians prevail so little against the Turks, considering what soldiers they make use of! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> Sedar Olam.<\/p>\n a man of God.

These were mercenaries gathered out of the ten tribes, to be used against Edom (2Ch 25:6). <\/p>\n not with. This is the measure by which our alliances of all kinds should be tried. <\/p>\n all the children of Ephraim = any of the sons of Ephraim. Of these were the kings of Israel. <\/p>\n Ephraim.

Let not the army of Israel go with thee It is comfortable to employ those who, we have reason to hope, have an interest in heaven; but dangerous associating with those from whom the Lord is departed. For the Lord is not with Israel He hath forsaken them; and prosperity shall not attend thy counsels and undertakings, if thou joinest thyself with them. But if thou wilt go, do it It is an ironical concession, like that of Micaiah to Ahab, Go and prosper.<\/p>\n 25:7 But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD [is] not {e} with Israel, [to wit, with] all the children of Ephraim.<\/p>\n (e) Therefore to think to have help from them, whom the Lord does not favour, is to cast off the help of the Lord.<\/p>\n But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD [is] not with Israel, [to wit, with] all the children of Ephraim. 7. the Lord is not with Israel ] Cp. 2Ch 13:8-12.
