2 Tawarikh 18:5

18:5 So the king of Israel assembled 400 prophets and asked them, “Should we attack Ramoth Gilead or not?” ¹  They said, “Attack! God ²  will hand it over to the king.”

2 Tawarikh 24:24

24:24 Even though the invading Syrian army was relatively weak, the Lord handed over to them Judah’s very large army, ³  for the people of Judah ⁴  had abandoned the Lord God of their ancestors. The Syrians ⁵  gave Joash what he deserved. ⁶ 

[18:5]  ¹ tn Heb “Should we go against Ramoth Gilead for war or should I refrain?”

[18:5]  ² tn Though Jehoshaphat had requested an oracle from “the Lord” (יְהוָה, yÿhvah, “Yahweh”), the Israelite prophets stop short of actually using this name and substitute the title הָאֱלֹהִים (ha’elohim, “the God”). This ambiguity may explain in part Jehoshaphat’s hesitancy and caution (vv. 7-8). He seems to doubt that the 400 are genuine prophets of the Lord.

[24:24]  ³ tn Heb “though with a small amount of men the army of Aram came, the Lord gave into their hand an army [that was] very large.”

[24:24]  ⁴ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the people of Judah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:24]  ⁵ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Syrians) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:24]  ⁶ tn Heb “executed judgments [on] Joash.”
