2 Tawarikh 12:5

12:5 Shemaiah the prophet visited Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah who were assembled in Jerusalem because of Shishak. He said to them, “This is what the Lord says: ‘You have rejected me, so I have rejected you and will hand you over to Shishak.’” ¹ 

2 Tawarikh 22:5

22:5 He followed their advice and joined Ahab’s son King Joram ²  of Israel in a battle against King Hazael of Syria ³  at Ramoth Gilead in which the Syrians defeated Joram.

2 Tawarikh 25:23

25:23 King Joash of Israel captured King Amaziah of Judah, son of Joash son of Jehoahaz, in Beth Shemesh and brought him to Jerusalem. He broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate – a distance of about six hundred feet. ⁴ 

2 Tawarikh 32:5

32:5 Hezekiah ⁵  energetically rebuilt ⁶  every broken wall. He erected towers and an outer wall, ⁷  and fortified the terrace of the City of David. ⁸  He made many weapons and shields.

[12:5]  ¹ tn Heb “also I have rejected you into the hand of Shishak.”

[22:5]  ² sn Jehoram and Joram are alternate spellings of the Israelite king’s name (also in vv. 6-7). The shorter form is used in these verse to avoid confusion with King Jehoram of Judah, father of Azariah.

[22:5]  ³ tn Heb “Aram” (also in v. 6).

[25:23]  ⁴ tn Heb “400 cubits.” Assuming a cubit of 18 inches (45 cm), the distance would have been about 600 feet (180 m).

[32:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Hezekiah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[32:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “strengthened himself and built.”

[32:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “and outside the wall another one.”

[32:5]  ⁸ sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.
