2 Chronicles 26:5

And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.

Ver. 5. And he sought God.] Heb., Full in consulendo Deo, i.e., He was wholly taken up in consulting with God.

In the days of Zechariah.] Who was, saith Jerome, son to Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada. He had a daughter, say others, a called Abijah, who became wife to king Ahaz, and mother to Hezekiah.

Who had understanding in the visions of God.] Was a skilful seer or prophet. Some render it, Who made to understand in the fear of God.

And as long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper.] So fared it also with that great prince of late years, who, while he stood to the true religion, was Bonus orbi, good of bereft, and prospered in all his enterprises: but afterwards was Orbus boni, bereft of good, and sped accordingly, as one wittily descanted upon his name.
