Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) He took the fenced cities.--Those very cities which Rehoboam had fortified as bulwarks against Egypt (2Chronicles 11:5-12). Fourteen names of cities have disappeared from the Karnak inscription, but Socho, Adoraim, and Ajalon, are still read there.Came to (so far as to) Jerusalem.--Comp. Isaiah 36:1-2. The verse is not in Kings. Thenius (on 1Kings 14:26) says that the chronicler has here made use of "really historical notices." It is self-evident.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewHe capturedוַיִּלְכֹּ֛ד (way·yil·kōḏ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 3920: To catch, to capture, occupy, to choose, to coherethe fortifiedהַמְּצֻר֖וֹת (ham·mə·ṣu·rō·wṯ)Article | Noun - feminine pluralStrong's 4694: A hemming in, a mound, a rampart, fortificationcitiesעָרֵ֥י (‘ā·rê)Noun - feminine plural constructStrong's 5892: Excitementof Judahלִֽיהוּדָ֑ה (lî·hū·ḏāh)Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3063: Judah -- 'praised', a son of Jacob, also the southern kingdom, also four Israelitesand cameוַיָּבֹ֖א (way·yā·ḇō)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 935: To come in, come, go in, goas far asעַד־ (‘aḏ-)PrepositionStrong's 5704: As far as, even to, up to, until, whileJerusalem.יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם׃ (yə·rū·šā·lim)Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 3389: Jerusalem -- probably 'foundation of peace', capital city of all IsraelJump to PreviousBelonged Bulwarks Captured Captureth Cities Far Fenced Fortified Jerusalem Judah Pertained Towns Walled
