2 Chronicles 21:16 Context
14Behold, with a great plague wil the Lord smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wiues, and all thy goods. 15And thou shalt haue great sicknesse by disease of thy bowels, vntil thy bowels fall out, by reason of the sickenesse day by day. 16¶ Moreouer, the Lord stirred vp against Iehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were neere the Ethiopians. 17And they came vp into Iudah, and brake into it, and caried away all the substance that was found in the kings house, and his sonnes also and his wiues; so that there was neuer a sonne left him, saue Iehoahaz, the yongest of his sonnes. 18¶ And after all this, the Lord smote him in his bowels, with an incurable disease.

Wesley's Notes for 2 Chronicles 21:16
21:16 Philistines - A people fully subdued and dispirited: but God now raises their spirits and courage to do his work. Ethiopians - A people in Arabia, so called, either for their likeness in complexion to the Ethiopians, or because the one of these people were a colony of the other.
