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.














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

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

But great vexations.--For great confusions (meh-moth). (See Deuteronomy 28:20, where meh-mah, "confusion" or "discomfiture," is foretold as a punishment of apostacy. Here the meaning seems to be tumults, as in Amos 3:9. "The countries" are the territories or provinces of Israel, as in 2Chronicles 34:33. . . .
