18:21 He replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ The Lord ¹⁶  said, ‘Deceive and overpower him. ¹⁷  Go out and do as you have proposed.’ 18:22 So now, look, the Lord has placed a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours; but the Lord has decreed disaster for you.”

2 Tawarikh 22:6

22:6 Joram ³²  returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he received from the Syrians ³³  in Ramah when he fought against King Hazael of Syria. Ahaziah ³⁴  son of King Jehoram of Judah went down to visit Joram son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he had been wounded. ³⁵

25:20 But Amaziah did not heed the warning, ⁴²  for God wanted to hand them over to Joash because they followed the gods of Edom. ⁴³

25:26 The rest of the events of Amaziah’s reign, from start to finish, are recorded in the Scroll of the Kings of Judah and Israel. ⁴⁴ 

2 Tawarikh 26:5

2 Tawarikh 26:20

26:20 When Azariah the high priest and the other priests looked at ⁴⁹  him, there was a skin disease on his forehead. They hurried him out of there; even the king ⁵⁰  himself wanted to leave quickly because the Lord had afflicted him.

2 Tawarikh 27:2

27:2 He did what the Lord approved, just as his father Uzziah had done. ⁵¹  (He did not, however, have the audacity to enter the temple.) ⁵²  Yet the people were still sinning.

28:21 Ahaz gathered riches ⁵³  from the Lord’s temple, the royal palace, and the officials and gave them to the king of Assyria, but that did not help.

2 Tawarikh 28:25

28:25 In every city throughout Judah he set up high places to offer sacrifices to other gods. He angered the Lord God of his ancestors.

2 Tawarikh 29:15

29:15 They assembled their brothers and consecrated themselves. Then they went in to purify the Lord’s temple, just as the king had ordered, in accordance with the word ⁵⁴  of the Lord.

2 Tawarikh 29:23

29:23 Finally they brought the goats for the sin offering before the king and the assembly, and they placed their hands on them.

2 Tawarikh 29:28

29:28 The entire assembly worshiped, as the singers sang and the trumpeters played. They continued until the burnt sacrifice was completed.

2 Tawarikh 29:32

29:32 The assembly brought a total of 70 bulls, 100 rams, and 200 lambs as burnt sacrifices to the Lord, ⁵⁵ 

2 Tawarikh 30:5

30:5 So they sent an edict ⁵⁶  throughout Israel from Beer Sheba to Dan, summoning the people ⁵⁷  to come and observe a Passover for the Lord God of Israel in Jerusalem, for they had not observed it on a nationwide scale as prescribed in the law. ⁵⁸ 

2 Tawarikh 30:10

30:10 The messengers journeyed from city to city through the land of Ephraim and Manasseh as far as Zebulun, but people mocked and ridiculed them. ⁵⁹ 

2 Tawarikh 30:12

30:12 In Judah God moved the people to unite and carry out the edict the king and the officers had issued at the Lord’s command. ⁶⁰ 

2 Tawarikh 30:27

31:15 In the cities of the priests, Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah faithfully assisted him in making disbursements to their fellow priests ⁶²  according to their divisions, regardless of age. ⁶³ 

2 Tawarikh 32:9

32:9 Afterward King Sennacherib of Assyria, while attacking Lachish with all his military might, sent his messengers ⁶⁴  to Jerusalem. The message was for King Hezekiah of Judah and all the people of ⁶⁵  Judah who were in Jerusalem. It read:

2 Tawarikh 32:26

32:26 But then Hezekiah and the residents of Jerusalem humbled themselves and abandoned their pride, and the Lord was not angry with them for the rest of Hezekiah’s reign. ⁶⁶ 

2 Tawarikh 32:28

32:28 He made storerooms for the harvest of grain, wine, and olive oil, and stalls for all his various kinds of livestock and his flocks. ⁶⁷ 

2 Tawarikh 33:11

33:11 So the Lord brought against them the commanders of the army of the king of Assyria. They seized Manasseh, put hooks in his nose, ⁶⁸  bound him with bronze chains, and carried him away to Babylon.

2 Tawarikh 34:2

34:2 He did what the Lord approved ⁶⁹  and followed in his ancestor David’s footsteps; ⁷⁰  he did not deviate to the right or the left.

2 Tawarikh 34:11

34:11 They gave money to the craftsmen and builders to buy chiseled stone and wood for the braces and rafters of the buildings that the kings of Judah had allowed to fall into disrepair. ⁷¹ 

2 Tawarikh 34:14

34:14 When they took out the silver that had been brought to the Lord’s temple, Hilkiah the priest found the law scroll the Lord had given to Moses.

2 Tawarikh 35:4

35:4 Prepare yourselves by your families according to your divisions, as instructed ⁷²  by King David of Israel and his son Solomon.

[18:21]  ¹⁷ tn The Hebrew text has two imperfects connected by וְגַם (vÿgam). These verbs could be translated as specific futures, “you will deceive and also you will prevail,” in which case the Lord is assuring the spirit of success on his mission.
