Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of Judah,.... A considerable number of soldiers, to defend them should they be attacked:

and set garrisons in the land of Judah: on the frontiers and borders of it, to protect it:

and in the cities of Ephraim; soldiers to keep garrison there:

which Asa his father had taken; see 2 Chronicles 15:8.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Chronicles 17:2. The cities of Ephraim — This conquest from the kingdom of Israel is referred to, 2 Chronicles 15:8; but when it was made we do not know.
