Wesley's Notes for 2 Chronicles 17:12

17:10 Fear fell - Justly concluding from his singular piety that God would eminently appear for him, for even the Heathens could not but observe, that the kings of Judah were either prosperous or unhappy, according as they served God or forsook him.

17:13 Business - To repair and fortify them, and furnish them with provisions: and to purge out all their relicks of idolatry and injustice.
