2 Tawarikh 20:9

20:9 ‘If disaster comes on us in the form of military attack, ⁴  judgment, plague, or famine, we will stand in front of this temple before you, for you are present in this temple. ⁵  We will cry out to you for help in our distress, so that you will ⁶  hear and deliver us.’

2 Tawarikh 30:17

[6:38]  ² tn Heb “your name.” The word “name” sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor (thus the translation here, “your honor”).

[13:11]  ³ tn Or “for.”

[20:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “sword.”

[20:9]  ⁵ 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]  ⁶ tn Or “so that you may.”

[30:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “were over the slaughter of.”

[30:17]  ⁸ tn Heb “of everyone not pure to consecrate to the Lord.”

[30:21]  ⁹ tn Heb “and they were praising the Lord day by day, the Levites and the priests with instruments of strength to the Lord.” The phrase בִּכְלֵי־עֹז (bikhley-’oz, “with instruments of strength”) might refer to loud sounding musical instruments (NASB “with loud instruments”; NEB “with unrestrained fervour”). The present translation assumes an emendation to בְּכָל־עֹז (bÿkhol-’oz, “with all strength”); see 1 Chr 13:8, as well as HALOT 805 s.v. I עֹז and BDB 739 s.v. עֹז).

[33:19]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and his prayer and being entreated by him, and all his sin and his unfaithfulness and the places where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself – behold, they are written on the words of his seers.”
