2 Tawarikh 23:12

23:12 When Athaliah heard the royal guard ⁴  shouting and praising the king, she joined the crowd ⁵  at the Lord’s temple.

[17:6]  ¹ tn Heb “and his heart was high in the ways of the Lord.” Perhaps גָּבַהּ (gavah, “be high”) here means “be cheerful” (HALOT 171 s.v.) or “be encouraged” (BDB 147 s.v. 3.a).

[21:11]  ² tn Heb “and he caused the residents of Jerusalem to commit adultery.” In this context spiritual unfaithfulness to the Lord is in view rather than physical adultery.

[21:11]  ³ tn Heb “and drove Judah away.”

[23:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “and Athaliah heard the sound of the people, the runners.”

[23:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “she came to the people.”
