2 Tawarikh 25:15

25:15 The Lord was angry at Amaziah and sent a prophet to him, who said, “Why are you following ¹  these gods ²  that could not deliver their own people from your power?” ³ 

2 Tawarikh 32:13

32:13 Are you not aware of what I and my predecessors ⁴  have done to all the nations of the surrounding lands? Have the gods of the surrounding lands actually been able to rescue their lands from my power? ⁵ 

[25:15]  ¹ tn Heb “seeking,” perhaps in the sense of “consulting [an oracle from].”

[25:15]  ² tn Heb “the gods of the people.”

[25:15]  ³ tn Heb “hand.”

[32:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 14, 15), but in this context the term does not necessarily refer to Sennacherib’s ancestors, but to his predecessors on the Assyrian throne.

[32:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “hand.”
