Adam Clarke’s Commentary
Verse 32. The Lord began to cut Israel short] The marginal reading is best: The Lord cut off the ends; and this he did by permitting Hazael to seize on the coasts, to conquer and occupy the frontier towns. This was the commencement of those miserable ravages which Elisha predicted; see 2Ki 8:12. And we find from the next verse that he seized on all the land of Gilead, and that of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh; in a word, whatever Israel possessed on the east side of Jordan.
Matthew Poole’s Commentary
Ver. 32. In those days; in the time of Jehu’s life and reign, as may be gathered by comparing 2Ki 10:31.
To cut Israel short; either to diminish the number of the people, by cutting them off; or to straiten their borders.
In all the coasts of Israel, i.e. in their borders, or the uttermost part of their land beyond Jordan, as it is explained, 2Ki 10:33. And at this time possibly he executed those cruelties mentioned 2Ki 8:12.
