2 Chronicles 30:10

So the posts passed. — And the couriers were passing.

Even unto Zebulun. — This tribe, which lay on the southern border of Naphtali, had suffered from Tiglath-pileser’s invasion (Isaiah 9:1). The messengers did not actually travel northward so far as Dan (2 Chronicles 30:5). This mention of Zebulun as the limit of their journey lends an air of historical truth to the account.

Laughed them to scorn. — Literally, and they were laughing at them (hisḫîq: here only), and making mock of them (Psalms 22:7). The verbs imply what the Israelites did continually. Vulg., “cursores pergebant... illis irridentibus et subsannantibus eos.”
