2 Tawarikh 20:9

20:9 ‘If disaster comes on us in the form of military attack, ¹  judgment, plague, or famine, we will stand in front of this temple before you, for you are present in this temple. ²  We will cry out to you for help in our distress, so that you will ³  hear and deliver us.’

2 Tawarikh 23:14

23:14 Jehoiada the priest sent out the officers of the units of hundreds, who were in charge of the army, and ordered them, “Bring her outside the temple to the guards. ⁴  Put the sword to anyone who follows her.” The priest gave this order because he had decided she should not be executed in the Lord’s temple. ⁵ 

[20:9]  ¹ tn Heb “sword.”

[20:9]  ² tn Heb “for your name is in this house.” The “name” of the Lord sometimes designates the Lord himself, being indistinguishable from the proper name. In this case the temple is referred to as a “house” where the Lord himself can reside.

[20:9]  ³ tn Or “so that you may.”

[23:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “ranks.”

[23:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “for the priest had said, ‘Do not put her to death in the house of the Lord.’”
