2 Tawarikh 32:27
Konteks32:27 Hezekiah was very wealthy and greatly respected. He made storehouses for his silver, gold, precious stones, spices, and all his other valuable possessions. 1
2 Tawarikh 36:10
Konteks36:10 At the beginning of the year King Nebuchadnezzar ordered him to be brought 2 to Babylon, along with the valuable items in the Lord’s temple. In his place he made his relative 3 Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.
[32:27] 1 tc The Hebrew text reads literally, “and shields and all the desirable items.” The present translation assumes an emendation of מָגִנִּים (maginnim, “shields”) to מִגְדָּנִים (migdanim, “precious items”). See v. 23.
[36:10] 2 tn Heb “sent and brought him.”
[36:10] 3 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”).
