32 36<\/strong>. Cutting short of Israel. Jehu’s death, his successor and the duration of his reign (Not in Chronicles)<\/p>\n 32<\/strong>. to cut Israel short<\/em> ] Literally ‘to cut off in<\/em> Israel’. The meaning is ‘to give over some parts of their land into the enemy’s hand’. This, it is said, should rather be expressed by ‘to cut off from<\/em> Israel’. But, as it stands, the context makes all clear enough. What had been part of Israel’s possessions, was severed from it, and passed into the power of Hazael and the Syrians.<\/p>\n in all the coasts of Israel<\/em> ] In the days when the A.V. was made, ‘coast’ meant ‘any border land’ and had no necessary relation to the sea. The ‘coasts’ described in the next verse are all on the east of Jordan, and entirely away from the Mediterranean. Hazael must have thoroughly overrun and taken possession of the trans-Jordanic part of Israel.<\/p>\n To cut Israel short – <\/B>literally, to cut off in Israel, i. e., to take away from Israel portions of its territory (see the marginal reference).<\/P><\/p>\n Verse 32. The Lord began to cut Israel short<\/B><\/I>] The marginal<\/I> reading is best: The Lord cut off the ends<\/I>; and this he did by permitting Hazael to seize on the coasts<\/I>, to conquer and occupy the frontier towns<\/I>. This was the commencement of those miserable ravages which Elisha predicted; see 2Kg 8:12<\/span>. And we find from the next verse that he seized on all the land of Gilead<\/I>, and that of Reuben<\/I> and Gad<\/I>, and the half tribe of Manasseh<\/I>; in a word, whatever Israel possessed on the east side of Jordan.<\/P> <\/p>\n In those days; <\/B>in the time of Jehus life and reign, as may be gathered by comparing 2Ki 10:31<\/span>. <\/P> To cut Israel short; <\/B>either to diminish the number of the people, by cutting them off; or to straiten their borders. <\/P> In all the coasts of Israel, <\/B>i.e. in their borders, or the uttermost part of their land beyond Jordan, as it is explained, 2Ki 10:33<\/span>. And at this time possibly he executed those cruelties mentioned 2Ki 8:12<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short<\/strong>,…. To bring their dominions into a narrower compass; this was done in the days of Jehu, though he was so active and courageous, wherefore the hand of God was the more seen in it:<\/p>\n and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel<\/strong>; which bordered on his country, when he did what Elisha foretold he would, 2Ki 8:12<\/span>.<\/p>\n Therefore (this link of connection follows from the actual fact, though it is not distinctly mentioned in the text) Hazael had now to inflict chastisement upon faithless Israel. In Jehu’s days Jehovah began “to cut off in Israel,” i.e., to rend away certain portions from the kingdom. “Hazael smote them (the Israelites) on the whole of the border of Israel,” i.e., of the kingdom, “from Jordan to the sun-rising (i.e., on the eastern side of the Jordan), the whole of the land of Gilead ( is dependent upon which must be supplied from ), namely, the territory of the tribes of Gad, Reuben, and Half-Manasseh, from Aroer on the brook Arnon (now Araayr, a ruin on the northern border of the Mojeb (Arnon) valley; see at Num 32:34<\/span>), the southern border of the Israelitish land to the east of the Jordan (Deu 2:36<\/span>; Deu 3:12<\/span>), both Gilead and Bashan,” the two countries into which Gilead in the broader sense was divided (see at Deu 3:8-17<\/span>). – These conquests took place during the twenty-eight years’ reign of Jehu, since Hazael began to reign before Jehu, viz., while Joram was king, and had already fought successfully against the Israelites at Ramoth in Joram’s reign (2Ki 8:28-29<\/span>), but not in the later part of Jehu’s reign, as Thenius supposes.<\/p>\n (32) In those days.<\/strong>As a vassal and ally of Assyria (see Notes on 2Ki. 9:2<\/span>), Jehu drew upon himself the active hostility of Hazael. (See Note on 2Ki. 8:15<\/span>.) Schrder remarks that it was quite natural for the Israelite sovereign to throw himself into the arms of distant Assyria, in order to get protection against his immediate neighbour Syria, Israels hereditary foe. Comp. the similar conduct of Ahaz as against Pekah and Rezin (2Ki. 16:7<\/span>). From the point of view of the sacred writer, this verse states the consequence<\/em> of Jehus neglect of walking in Jehovahs instruction with all his heart (2Ki. 10:31<\/span>).<\/p>\n The Lord began.<\/strong>Through Hazael and the Syrians. (Comp. Isa. 7:17<\/span>; Isa. 7:20<\/span>; Isa. 10:5-6<\/span>.)<\/p>\n To cut Israel short.<\/strong>Literally, to cut off in Israeli.e.<\/em>, to cut off part after part of Israelite territory. (The verb means to cut off the extremities<\/em>, Pro. 26:6<\/span>.) This refers to the conquests of Hazael. The Targum explains, The wrath of the Lord began to be strong against Israel; and the Vulg. has, tdere super Israel. Thenius conjectures from this that we should read, to be wrathful with Israel; but the construction would not then be usual.<\/p>\n In all the coasts.<\/strong>Rather, on the whole borderscil., conterminous<\/em> with Syria.<\/p>\n 32<\/strong>. <\/strong> Began to cut Israel short <\/strong> That is, in the latter part of Jehu’s reign Israel began to suffer those fearful punishments of invasion and conquest from the north and northeast, which finally ended in the total captivity of the land. Jehu’s name occurs on the Assyrian monuments among others who paid tribute to the king of Assyria, and Rawlinson ( Historical Evidences, <\/em> page 113) inclines to the opinion “that from this date both the Jewish and the Israelitish kings held their crowns as fiefs, dependent on the will of the Assyrian monarch, with whom it formally lay to ‘confirm’ each new prince ‘in his kingdom.’” See 2Ki 14:5<\/span>, note.<\/p>\n Here begins the melancholy history of Israel, leading to the Babylonish captivity. For though it was more than 300 years before that event took place, yet Israel’s glory from this time began to grow dim. Idolatry prevailed: and the Lord visited their iniquities. This Elijah had foretold concerning Hazael. See 2Ki 8:12-13<\/span> .<\/p>\n 2Ki 10:32 In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel;<\/p>\n Ver. 32. The Lord began to cut Israel short.<\/strong> ] By turning in the Syrians upon them, to waste their country. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And Hazael smote them.<\/strong> ] Exercising those inhuman cruelties upon them foretold by Elisha, 2Ki 8:12 and that in Jehu’s lifetime, res Israelis fuerunt accisae,<\/em> notwithstanding all his might. 2Ki 10:34 For his calf worship, his puissance was turned into pusillanimity, and his glory into shame. The like befell Henry IV of France, after that he turned Papist.<\/p>\n to cut Israel short: or, to cut off the outskirts, or make inroads into. <\/p>\n coasts = borders. <\/p>\n cut: Heb. cut off the ends of <\/p>\n Hazael: 2Ki 8:12, 2Ki 13:22, 1Ki 19:17 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Num 32:19 – we will 2Ki 13:7 – the king 2Ki 15:37 – began Psa 107:39 – oppression Pro 14:28 – General Amo 1:3 – because Amo 4:10 – your young Mar 14:71 – General<\/p>\n 2Ki 10:32.

Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel In their borders, or the outermost part of their land, beyond Jordan, as it is explained 2Ki 10:33; and at this time, probably, he executed the cruelties predicted by Elisha, 2Ki 8:12. <\/p>\n In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel; 32 36.
