Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - All Judah brought presents to Jehoshaphat. These presents were, of course, voluntary gifts, though, like not a few others, custom may have taken off from them something of the bloom of spontaneousness (1 Samuel 10:27; 2 Samuel 8:2; 1 Kings 4:21; 1 Kings 10:25; Psalm 72:10).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) Therefore.--And (so "also," "so that," in 2Chronicles 17:7; 2Chronicles 17:10).The Lord stablished the kingdom in his hand.--Comp. 2Kings 14:5.Presents.--Minchah. This word often means tributary offerings, as in 2Chronicles 17:11, but here it obviously denotes the voluntary gifts of loyal subjects, usual at the beginning of a reign (1Samuel 10:27). . . .
