2 Chronicles - 21:3 Meaning
“And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram; because he was the firstborn.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
21:1-11 Jehoram hated his brethren, and slew them, for the same reason that Cain hated Abel, and slew him, because their piety condemned his impiety. In the mystery of Providence such men sometimes prosper for a time; but the Lord has righteous purposes in permitting such events, part of which may now be made out, and the rest will be seen hereafter.
“As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.”
