2 Tawarikh 32:15

32:15 Now don’t let Hezekiah deceive you or mislead you like this. Don’t believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to rescue his people from my power or the power of my predecessors. So how ¹  can your gods rescue ²  you from my power?’”

2 Tawarikh 32:17

32:17 He wrote letters mocking the Lord God of Israel and insulting him with these words: ³  “The gods of the surrounding nations could not rescue their people from my power. Neither can Hezekiah’s god rescue his people from my power.” ⁴ 

[32:15]  ¹ tn Heb “how much less.”

[32:15]  ² tn The verb is plural, suggesting that the preceding אֱלֹהֵיכֶם (’elohekhem) be translated “your gods,” rather than “your God.”

[32:17]  ³ tn Heb “and speaking against him, saying.”

[32:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “Like the gods of the nations of the lands who did not rescue their people from my hand, so the god of Hezekiah will not rescue his people from my hand.”
