Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 6. - The virtue of the reflection of this verse is apparent. Prepared; Hebrew, הֵכִין; Revised Version, ordered; with some others (such as "set straight," etc.), a good rendering in keeping with other Old Testament renderings of words betokening moral habitude.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(6) So Jotham became mighty.--The chronicler's customary phrase. "Strengthened himself," "gained strength" (2Chronicles 13:21).Because he prepared.--For he directed his ways (Proverbs 21:29; comp. also 2Chronicles 12:14; 2Chronicles 20:33). Jotham directed his ways "before," i.e., in the chronicler's usage, "to meet," "towards" Jehovah his God. (Comp. 1Chronicles 12:17; 1Samuel 7:3.) "Direct your heart towards Jehovah." Perhaps, however, "before" simply means "as in the sight of" Jehovah. (Comp. Genesis 17:1, "walk before me.") . . .
