2 Chronicles 12:8
8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
2 Chr. 12:8. i.e., That they may know the difference between my service and theirs. So the forbidden tree in Eden was called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, because the experience of the one illustrated and showed the value of the other. God would hereby let Judah know by their experience how much better His service was that they had forsaken and cast off, than the service of the kingdoms of the countries whose gods they had chosen.
2 Chr. 15:17
