2 Chronicles 17:13

And he had much business in the cities of Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of valour, [were] in Jerusalem.

Ver. 13. And he had much business.] Eργα πολλα, a Many works going forward at once; a negotious man he was. His business, say some, lay in beautifying and fortifying those cities. Augustus gloried at his death, that whereas he had found Rome built with brick, he had left it made of marble.

And the men of war … were in Jerusalem.] These were his Praetorian forces; his Praesidiaries were up and down in the various cities.
