2 Tawarikh 28:23

2 Tawarikh 30:24

30:24 King Hezekiah of Judah supplied 1,000 bulls and 7,000 sheep ³  for the assembly, while the officials supplied them ⁴  with 1,000 bulls and 10,000 sheep. Many priests consecrated themselves.

2 Tawarikh 35:3

35:3 He told the Levites, who instructed all Israel about things consecrated to the Lord, “Place the holy ark in the temple which King Solomon son of David of Israel built. Don’t carry it on your shoulders. Now serve the Lord your God and his people Israel!

[28:23]  ¹ tn Heb “the gods of Damascus, the ones who had defeated him.” The words “he thought” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The perspective is that of Ahaz, not the narrator! Another option is that “the kings” has been accidentally omitted after “gods of.” See v. 23b.

[28:23]  ² tn Heb “said.”

[30:24]  ³ 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]  ⁴ tn Heb “the assembly.” The pronoun “them” has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy.
