Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah,.... A city in the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:44
prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah; an idolatrous prince, with whom he ought to have had no fellowship, even in civil things, it being both a countenancing him, and exposing himself and people to danger:
the Lord hath broken thy works; the ships built at the joint expense of the two kings, that is, the Lord had determined to break them, and now foretold that he would; the Targum is,
"the Word of the Lord hath destroyed thy works:''
and the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish;
Joshua 15:44- :.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 20:37. The Lord hath broken, c. — "The WORD of the Lord hath broken." - Targum. Concerning Tarshish, Ezion-geber, and Ophir, and the voyage thither, 1 Kings 10:22, and at the end of that chapter, 1 Kings 10:29, and on 2 Chronicles 9:26-28. The Tarshish here is called by the Chaldee Torsos in the great sea, some place in the Mediterranean. On this subject the reader has, no doubt, already seen a great variety of opinions.
