2 Chronicles 15
1.Asa, with Judah and many of Israel, moved by the prophecy of Azariah,
12.make a solemn covenant with God
16.He puts down Maachah his grandmother for idolatry
18.He brings dedicated things into the house of God, and enjoys a long peace.














In those days
This phrase refers to the period during the reign of King Asa of Judah, a time marked by religious reform and conflict. Asa's reign is noted for his efforts to rid Judah of idolatry and to restore the worship of Yahweh. The historical context is crucial, as it was a time when the kingdom was divided into Israel and Judah, with frequent conflicts and instability.

there was no safety for travelers
Travel during this period was perilous due to the lack of centralized control and the presence of hostile forces. The roads were often unsafe, reflecting the broader social and political instability. This lack of safety can be compared to the period of the Judges, where "everyone did what was right in his own eyes" (Judges 21:25), leading to lawlessness and danger.

because the residents of the lands
The "residents of the lands" refers to the people living in the territories surrounding Judah, including the Northern Kingdom of Israel and neighboring nations. These groups often had conflicting interests and engaged in skirmishes, contributing to the overall insecurity. The geopolitical landscape was complex, with various tribes and nations vying for power and territory.

had many conflicts
The conflicts mentioned were likely both internal and external. Internally, there were struggles for power and influence within the divided kingdoms of Israel and Judah. Externally, there were threats from surrounding nations such as the Philistines, Moabites, and Edomites. These conflicts can be seen as a consequence of the people's departure from God's commandments, as outlined inDeuteronomy 28, where disobedience leads to turmoil and strife. The turmoil of the time underscores the need for divine intervention and foreshadows the peace that Christ, the Prince of Peace, would ultimately bring.

Persons / Places / Events
1.Asa
King of Judah during the time of this prophecy. He was known for his religious reforms and efforts to return Judah to the worship of Yahweh.

2.Azariah son of Oded
The prophet who delivered God's message to Asa, encouraging him to seek the Lord and warning of the consequences of forsaking Him.

3.Judah
The southern kingdom of Israel, ruled by Asa, which experienced both peace and turmoil depending on their faithfulness to God.

4.Israel
The northern kingdom, often in conflict with Judah and experiencing its own share of turmoil due to idolatry and disobedience.

5.The Lands
Refers to the broader region surrounding Judah and Israel, indicating widespread unrest and instability during this period.
Teaching Points
The Consequences of Forsaking God
When people turn away from God, chaos and unrest often follow. This is a reminder of the importance of staying faithful to God's commandments.

The Importance of Seeking God
Asa's reforms and the subsequent peace in Judah highlight the blessings that come from earnestly seeking God and aligning with His will.

The Role of Prophets
Prophets like Azariah play a crucial role in guiding and warning God's people. We should be attentive to godly counsel and correction.

Peace as a Result of Obedience
True peace is a result of obedience to God. This peace is not just the absence of conflict but a deep, abiding sense of well-being and order.

The Impact of Leadership
Asa's leadership and response to Azariah's prophecy show how leaders can influence the spiritual direction and peace of a nation.

What Does 2 Chronicles 15:5 Mean
In those days

“In those days” anchors us in real history—during King Asa’s early reign when the prophet Azariah spoke (2 Chron 15:1). Scripture presents:

• A season marked by spiritual drift: “For many days Israel was without the true God…” (2 Chron 15:3).

• Cycles of national turmoil whenever God’s covenant was ignored (Judges 21:25;Deuteronomy 28:65).

• God’s faithfulness in warning and inviting His people back (2 Chron 15:2).

The phrase reminds us that what follows is not mere metaphor but a concrete description of societal life apart from wholehearted devotion to the LORD.

there was no safety for travelers

“There was no safety for travelers” paints the social fallout:

• Roads once meant for commerce and fellowship became threatening (Judges 5:6).

• Families hesitated to journey for worship in Jerusalem, hindering obedience to feasts and offerings (Exodus 23:14–17).

• An echo of Jesus’ parable inLuke 10:30, where a man is beaten on the Jericho road—lawlessness always stalks a nation estranged from God.

When God’s moral boundaries are rejected, personal security erodes (Leviticus 26:22;Romans 1:28-31). The verse affirms the literal cause-and-effect woven into God’s covenant with Israel.

because the residents of the lands had many conflicts

Conflict, not coincidence, explains the danger:

• Civil strife: Judah and Israel “were continually at war” (1 Kings 14:30).

• Local hostilities: clans and tribes turning on one another (2 Chron 13:17).

• Spiritual rebellion spawning social unrest: “What causes fights and quarrels among you?… Your desires that battle within” (James 4:1).

Idolatry fractures unity; obedience binds. God had promised rest when His people walked in His ways (Proverbs 16:7), yet indiscriminate worship of foreign gods bred suspicion and violence.

summary

2 Chronicles 15:5 records a literal snapshot of life when a nation drifts from God: instability in daily travel and pervasive conflict among neighbors. The verse underscores a timeless principle—when hearts abandon the LORD, society forfeits peace; when hearts return, “He will be found by you” (2 Chron 15:2), restoring safety and harmony under His gracious rule.

(5)And in those times.--The "many days" cf.2Chronicles 15:3; the times of national unfaithfulness.

There was no peace . . . came in.--(SeeJudges 5:6;Judges 5:11;Judges 6:11.)

But great vexations.--For great confusions (meh-moth). (SeeDeuteronomy 28:20, wheremeh-mah, "confusion" or "discomfiture," is foretold as a punishment of apostacy. Here the meaning seems to betumults, as inAmos 3:9. "The countries" are the territories or provinces of Israel, as in2Chronicles 34:33. . . .
