2 Tawarikh 21:2-4
Konteks21:2 His brothers, Jehoshaphat’s sons, were Azariah, Jechiel, Zechariah, Azariahu, Michael, and Shephatiah. All of these were sons of King Jehoshaphat of Israel. 1 21:3 Their father gave them many presents, including silver, gold, and other precious items, along with fortified cities in Judah. But he gave the kingdom to Jehoram because he was the firstborn.
21:4 Jehoram took control of his father’s kingdom and became powerful. 2 Then he killed all his brothers, 3 as well as some of the officials of Israel.
[21:2] 1 sn A number of times in 2 Chronicles “Israel” is used instead of the more specific “Judah”; see 2 Chr 12:6; 23:2). In the interest of consistency some translations (e.g., NAB, NRSV) substitute “Judah” for “Israel” here.
[21:4] 2 tn Heb “and Jehoram arose over the kingdom of his father and strengthened himself.”
[21:4] 3 tn Heb “and he killed all his brothers with the sword.”
