2 Tawarikh 9:12

2 Tawarikh 10:18

10:18 King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, ¹⁷  the supervisor of the work crews, out after them, but the Israelites stoned him to death. King Rehoboam managed to jump into his chariot and escape to Jerusalem. ¹⁸

2 Tawarikh 15:8

15:8 When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he was encouraged. ²³  He removed the detestable idols from the entire land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities he had seized in the Ephraimite hill country. He repaired the altar of the Lord in front of the porch of the Lord’s temple. ²⁴ 

2 Tawarikh 17:7

17:7 In the third year of his reign he sent his officials Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Micaiah to teach in the cities of Judah.

29:31 Hezekiah said, “Now you have consecrated yourselves ²⁹  to the Lord. Come and bring sacrifices and thank offerings ³⁰  to the Lord’s temple.” So the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and whoever desired to do so ³¹  brought burnt sacrifices.

2 Tawarikh 30:17-18

2 Tawarikh 30:22

30:24 King Hezekiah of Judah supplied 1,000 bulls and 7,000 sheep ³⁹  for the assembly, while the officials supplied them ⁴⁰  with 1,000 bulls and 10,000 sheep. Many priests consecrated themselves.

[6:30]  ¹ tn The words “their sin” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied for clarification.

[6:30]  ² tn Heb “and act and give to each one according to all his ways because you know his heart.” In the Hebrew text vv. 28-30a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided up for stylistic reasons.

[6:30]  ³ tn Heb “Indeed you know, you alone, the heart of all the sons of mankind.”

[6:39]  ⁴ tn Heb “their prayer and their requests for help.”

[7:17]  ⁹ tn Heb “As for you, if you walk before me, as David your father walked, by doing all which I commanded you, [and] you keep my rules and my regulations.”

[7:17]  sn Verse 17 is actually a lengthy protasis (“if” section) of a conditional sentence, the apodosis (“then” section) of which appears in v. 18.

[8:11]  ¹⁰ sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.

[9:12]  ¹¹ tn Heb “besides what she brought to the king.”

[9:12]  ¹² tn Heb “turned and went.”

[10:16]  ¹³ sn The people’s point seems to be that they have no familial relationship with David that brings them any benefits or places upon them any obligations. They are being treated like outsiders.

[10:16]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “each one to your tents, Israel.” The word “return” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[10:16]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “Now see your house, David.”

[10:16]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “went to their tents.”

[11:23]  ²⁰ tn “and he asked for a multitude of wives.”

[14:13]  ²¹ tn Heb “and there fell from the Cushites so that there was not to them preservation of life.”

[14:13]  ²² tn Heb “they”; the referent (the men of Judah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[15:8]  ²³ tn Heb “strengthened himself.”

[18:12]  ²⁵ tn Heb “the words of the prophets are [with] one mouth good for the king.”

[18:12]  ²⁶ tn Heb “let your words be like one of them and speak good.”

[23:11]  ²⁷ tn The Hebrew word עֵדוּת (’edut) normally means “witness” or “testimony.” Here it probably refers to some tangible symbol of kingship, perhaps a piece of jewelry such as an amulet or neck chain (see the discussion in M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings [AB], 128). Some suggest that a document is in view, perhaps a copy of the royal protocol or of the stipulations of the Davidic covenant (see HALOT 790-91 s.v.).

[30:22]  ³⁷ tn Heb “who demonstrated skill [with] good skill for the Lord.”

[30:22]  ³⁸ tn Heb “and they ate [during] the appointed time [for] seven days.” מוֹעֵד (mo’ed, “appointed time”) is probably an adverbial accusative of time referring to the festival. However, some understand it as metonymically referring to the food eaten during the festival. See BDB 417 s.v.

[30:24]  ³⁹ tn The Hebrew term צֹאן (ts’on, translated “sheep” twice in this verse) denotes smaller livestock in general; depending on context it can refer to sheep only or goats only, but their is nothing in the immediate context here to specify one or the other.

[30:24]  ⁴⁰ tn Heb “the assembly.” The pronoun “them” has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy.

[31:5]  ⁴¹ tn Heb “and when the word spread out.”

[31:5]  ⁴² tn Heb “the sons of Israel multiplied.”

[31:12]  ⁴³ tn Heb “tenth.”

[34:25]  ⁴⁸ tn Or “burned incense.”

[34:25]  ⁴⁹ tn Heb “angering me with all the work of their hands.” The present translation assumes this refers to idols they have manufactured (note the preceding reference to “other gods”). However, it is possible that this is a general reference to their sinful practices, in which case one might translate, “angering me by all the things they do.”

[34:31]  ⁵⁰ tc This assumes an emendation to עַמּוּדוֹ (’ammudo), see 23:13. The MT reads “at his place.”

[34:31]  ⁵¹ tn Heb “cut,” that is, “made” or “agreed to.”

[34:31]  ⁵² tn Heb “walk after.”

[34:31]  ⁵³ tn Or “soul.”
