Context — The Fall of Jerusalem
13He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God. But Zedekiah stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the LORD, the God of Israel.
14Furthermore, all the leaders of the priests and the people multiplied their unfaithful deeds, following all the abominations of the nations, and they defiled the house of the LORD, which He had consecrated in Jerusalem.
15Again and again the LORD, the God of their fathers, sent word to His people through His messengers because He had compassion on them and on His dwelling place.
16But they mocked the messengers of God, despising His words and scoffing at His prophets, until the wrath of the LORD against His people was stirred up beyond remedy. 17So He brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who put their young men to the sword in the sanctuary, sparing neither young men nor young women, neither elderly nor infirm. God gave them all into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar,Cross References

2 Chronicles 36:15 Summary
This verse tells us that even when God's people were being unfaithful, He still sent them messages of love and warning through His prophets. God had compassion on them because He loved them and wanted to protect His temple, which was a special place where He dwelled among them (as seen in 1 Kings 8:13). Just like God sent prophets to His people, He sends us messages today through the Bible and other means, calling us to turn back to Him (as in Jeremiah 31:3). We can learn from this verse to be more attentive to God's voice and to trust in His love and compassion for us, just as Psalm 103:13 reminds us that God is like a father who has compassion on His children.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that God sent word to His people through His messengers?
This refers to the prophets God sent to call His people back to Himself, as seen in Isaiah 6:8-9, where Isaiah is commissioned to speak for God, and Jeremiah 1:4-10, where Jeremiah is called to be a prophet to the nations.
Why did God have compassion on His people and His dwelling place?
God's compassion is rooted in His love and faithfulness to His people, as expressed in Deuteronomy 7:9, which says He is a God of faithfulness and without injustice, and also in His desire to protect the temple, His dwelling place, as mentioned in Psalm 132:13-14.
What is the significance of God being the God of their fathers?
This phrase highlights God's covenant relationship with His people, established with their ancestors, as seen in Exodus 3:15, where God introduces Himself to Moses as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and in Luke 1:54-55, which recalls God's help to Israel in the past.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the chapter?
This verse serves as a contrast to the rebellion and unfaithfulness of God's people described in the surrounding verses, such as 2 Chronicles 36:13-14, and sets the stage for the consequences of their actions in 2 Chronicles 36:16-17.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways God sends messengers to us today, and how do we respond to His word?
- How can we balance the truth of God's judgment with the reality of His compassion, as seen in this verse?
- In what ways can we, like the temple, become a dwelling place for God, as described in 1 Corinthians 3:16-17?
- What does this verse teach us about the importance of listening to and obeying God's messengers in our lives?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Chronicles 36:15
And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers,.... The prophets of the Lord, to admonish them of their idolatries, and to reprove them for them, to warn them of the wrath of God
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Chronicles 36:15
And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place: The Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 36:15
Rising up betimes, and sending, i.e. sending them early and diligently, as a careful householder who riseth betimes about his business, and pursues it till night come. God sent them many prophets and messages, some at the very beginning of their apostacy, and others afterward, as they proceeded in their impiety, until the very day of their captivity.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 36:15
2 Chronicles 36:15 And the LORD God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place:Ver. 15. Rising up betimes, and sending.] Manicando et mittendo, instar boni patris familias, saith A Lapide: like a good householder, who is up with the first, giving directions, and ordering the affairs of his family.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Chronicles 36:15
(15) Rising up betimes and sending.—i.e., constantly and earnestly. Jeremiah 25:3-4 : “The Lord hath sent all his servants, the prophets, rising early and sending them” (comp. also Jeremiah 26:5; Jeremiah 29:19; Jeremiah 35:14-15).
