2 Tawarikh 12:13

12:13 King Rehoboam solidified his rule in Jerusalem; ¹  he ²  was forty-one years old when he became king and he ruled for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord chose from all the tribes of Israel to be his home. ³  Rehoboam’s ⁴  mother was an Ammonite named Naamah.

2 Tawarikh 19:10

19:10 Whenever your countrymen who live in the cities bring a case before you ⁵  (whether it involves a violent crime ⁶  or other matters related to the law, commandments, rules, and regulations), warn them that they must not sin against the Lord. If you fail to do so, God will be angry with you and your colleagues; but if you obey, you will be free of guilt. ⁷ 

2 Tawarikh 31:1

31:1 When all this was over, the Israelites ⁸  who were in the cities of Judah went out and smashed the sacred pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, and demolished ⁹  all the high places and altars throughout Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh. ¹⁰  Then all the Israelites returned to their own homes in their cities. ¹¹ 

[12:13]  ¹ tn Heb “and the king, Rehoboam, strengthened himself in Jerusalem and ruled.”

[12:13]  ² tn Heb “Rehoboam.” The recurrence of the proper name here is redundant in terms of contemporary English style, so the pronoun has been used in the translation instead.

[12:13]  ³ tn Heb “the city where the Lord chose to place his name from all the tribes of Israel.”

[12:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “his”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “and every case which comes to you from your brothers who live in their cities.”

[19:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “between blood pertaining to blood.”

[19:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “and anger will be upon you and your brothers; do this and you will not be guilty.”

[31:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “all Israel.”

[31:1]  ⁹ tn Or “tore down.”

[31:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the high places and the altars from all Judah and Benjamin and in Ephraim and in Manasseh until finished.”

[31:1]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and the sons of Israel returned, each to his possession to their cities.”
