2 Tawarikh 28:5

28:5 The Lord his God handed him over to the king of Syria. The Syrians ¹  defeated him and deported many captives to Damascus. ²  He was also handed over to the king of Israel, who thoroughly defeated him. ³ 

2 Tawarikh 36:10

36:10 At the beginning of the year King Nebuchadnezzar ordered him to be brought ⁴  to Babylon, along with the valuable items in the Lord’s temple. In his place he made his relative ⁵  Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.

[28:5]  ¹ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Syrians) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[28:5]  ² tn Heb “and took captive from him a great captivity and brought [them] to Damascus.”

[28:5]  ³ tn Heb “who struck him down with a great striking.”

[36:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “sent and brought him.”

[36:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “and he made Zedekiah his brother king.” According to the parallel text in 2 Kgs 24:17, Zedekiah was Jehoiachin’s uncle, not his brother. Therefore many interpreters understand אח here in its less specific sense of “relative” (NEB “made his father’s brother Zedekiah king”; NASB “made his kinsman Zedekiah king”; NIV “made Jehoiachin’s uncle, Zedekiah, king”; NRSV “made his brother Zedekiah king”).
