1 Tawarikh 17:23

17:23 So now, O Lord, may the promise you made about your servant and his family become a permanent reality! ¹  Do as you promised, ² 

1 Tawarikh 27:24

27:24 Joab son of Zeruiah started to count the men but did not finish. God was angry with Israel ³  because of this, so the number was not recorded in the scroll ⁴  called The Annals of King David.

[17:23]  ¹ tn Heb “and now, O Lord, the word which you spoke concerning your servant and concerning his house, may it be established permanently.”

[17:23]  ² tn Heb “as you have spoken.”

[27:24]  ³ tn Heb “anger was on Israel.”

[27:24]  ⁴ tc The Hebrew text has “in the number,” but מִסְפַּר (mispar) is probably dittographic – note that the same word appears immediately before this. The form should be emended to בְּסֵפֶר (bÿsefar, “in the scroll”).
