Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
22:6-9 After the Temple, Judah’s royal palace was the nation’s most important building. It was an expensive building produced by the best craftsmen (1 Kgs 7:1-12), and it was the king’s home and the center of his government. Although the Lord loved the palace, it would not escape the destruction he decreed for Jerusalem. 22:6-7 Valuable crops were raised in the valleys and on the slopes of Gilead, the highlands rising eastward from the Jordan Valley. • Lebanon was the area north of Israel along the seacoast, including the high mountain ridge on the country’s eastern side. It was famous for its stately cedar trees.
