Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned,.... From Ramothgilead, after Ahab was slain:
to his house in peace in Jerusalem; to his palace there in safety, having narrowly escaped losing his life in the battle.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Jehoshaphat ... returned to his house in peace - With the battle of Ramoth-Gilead, and the death of Ahab, the war came to an end. The combined attack of the two kings having failed, their troops had been withdrawn, and the enterprise in which they had joined relinquished. The Syrians, satisfied with their victory, did not press on the retreating foe, or carry the war into their enemies’ country.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XIX
Jehoshaphat, on his return from Ramoth-gilead, is met by the
prophet Jehu, and reproved, 1-3.
He makes a farther reformation in the land, establishing courts
of justice, and giving solemn and pertinent directions to the
judges, Levites, &c., to do judgement and justice among the
people, in the fear of God, 4-11.
NOTES ON CHAP. XIX
Verse 2 Chronicles 19:1. Returned to his house in peace — That is, in safety, notwithstanding he had been exposed to a danger so imminent, from which only the especial mercy of God could have saved him.
