2 Tawarikh 9:27

2 Tawarikh 10:15

10:15 The king refused to listen to the people, because God was instigating this turn of events ⁴²  so that he might bring to pass the prophetic announcement he had made ⁴³  through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.

2 Tawarikh 11:16

11:16 Those among all the Israelite tribes who were determined to worship the Lord God of Israel followed them to Jerusalem ⁴⁴  to sacrifice to the Lord God of their ancestors. ⁴⁵

2 Tawarikh 14:6

14:6 He built fortified cities throughout Judah, for the land was at rest and there was no war during those years; the Lord gave him peace.

2 Tawarikh 15:11

15:11 At that time ⁴⁶  they sacrificed to the Lord some of the plunder they had brought back, including 700 head of cattle and 7,000 sheep. ⁴⁷ 

2 Tawarikh 15:18

15:18 He brought the holy items that his father and he had made into God’s temple, including the silver, gold, and other articles. ⁴⁸

19:8 In Jerusalem Jehoshaphat appointed some Levites, priests, and Israelite family leaders to judge on behalf of the Lord ⁴⁹  and to settle disputes among the residents of Jerusalem. ⁵⁰ 

2 Tawarikh 20:14

2 Tawarikh 24:21-22

24:21 They plotted against him and by royal decree stoned him to death in the courtyard of the Lord’s temple. 24:22 King Joash disregarded ⁶⁷  the loyalty his father Jehoiada had shown him and killed Jehoiada’s ⁶⁸  son. As Zechariah ⁶⁹  was dying, he said, “May the Lord take notice and seek vengeance!” ⁷⁰ 

2 Tawarikh 25:1

Amaziah’s Reign

25:1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. ⁷¹  His mother was Jehoaddan, who was from Jerusalem.

2 Tawarikh 27:1

Jotham’s Reign

27:1 Jotham was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. ⁷²  His mother was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok.

2 Tawarikh 28:10

28:10 And now you are planning ⁷³  to enslave ⁷⁴  the people ⁷⁵  of Judah and Jerusalem. Yet are you not also guilty before the Lord your God?

2 Tawarikh 29:1

Hezekiah Consecrates the Temple

29:1 Hezekiah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. ⁷⁶  His mother was Abijah, ⁷⁷  the daughter of Zechariah.

2 Tawarikh 29:5

29:5 He said to them: “Listen to me, you Levites! Now consecrate yourselves, so you can consecrate the temple of the Lord God of your ancestors! ⁷⁸  Remove from the sanctuary what is ceremonially unclean!

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 ⁷⁹  of the Lord.

2 Tawarikh 30:5

30:5 So they sent an edict ⁸⁰  throughout Israel from Beer Sheba to Dan, summoning the people ⁸¹  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. ⁸² 

2 Tawarikh 31:4

31:4 He ordered ⁸³  the people living in Jerusalem ⁸⁴  to contribute the portion prescribed for the priests and Levites so they might be obedient ⁸⁵  to the law of the Lord.

2 Tawarikh 31:6

31:6 The Israelites and people of Judah ⁸⁶  who lived in the cities of Judah also contributed a tenth of their cattle and sheep, as well as a tenth of the holy items consecrated to the Lord their God. They brought them and placed them in many heaps. ⁸⁷ 

2 Tawarikh 32:8-9

32:8 He has with him mere human strength, ⁸⁸  but the Lord our God is with us to help us and fight our battles!” The army ⁸⁹  was encouraged by the words of King Hezekiah of Judah.

32:9 Afterward King Sennacherib of Assyria, while attacking Lachish with all his military might, sent his messengers ⁹⁰  to Jerusalem. The message was for King Hezekiah of Judah and all the people of ⁹¹  Judah who were in Jerusalem. It read:

2 Tawarikh 32:18

32:18 They called out loudly in the Judahite dialect to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, trying to scare and terrify them so they could seize the city.

2 Tawarikh 32:23

32:23 Many were bringing presents ⁹²  to the Lord in Jerusalem and precious gifts to King Hezekiah of Judah. From that time on he was respected by ⁹³  all the nations.

2 Tawarikh 32:31

32:31 So when the envoys arrived from the Babylonian officials to visit him and inquire about the sign that occurred in the land, ⁹⁴  God left him alone to test him, in order to know his true motives. ⁹⁵ 

2 Tawarikh 33:2

33:2 He did evil in the sight of ⁹⁶  the Lord and committed the same horrible sins practiced by the nations ⁹⁷  whom the Lord drove out ahead of the Israelites.

2 Tawarikh 33:16

33:16 He erected the altar of the Lord and offered on it peace offerings and thank offerings. He told the people of ⁹⁸  Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel.

2 Tawarikh 34:2

34:2 He did what the Lord approved ⁹⁹  and followed in his ancestor David’s footsteps; ¹⁰⁰  he did not deviate to the right or the left.

2 Tawarikh 35:13

35:13 They cooked the Passover sacrifices over the open fire as prescribed and cooked the consecrated offerings in pots, kettles, and pans. They quickly served them to all the people.

2 Tawarikh 36:13-15

36:13 He also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him vow allegiance ¹⁰¹  in the name of God. He was stubborn and obstinate, and refused to return ¹⁰²  to the Lord God of Israel. 36:14 All the leaders of the priests and people became more unfaithful and committed the same horrible sins practiced by the nations. ¹⁰³  They defiled the Lord’s temple which he had consecrated in Jerusalem.

The Babylonians Destroy Jerusalem

36:15 The Lord God of their ancestors ¹⁰⁴  continually warned them through his messengers, ¹⁰⁵  for he felt compassion for his people and his dwelling place.

[2:2]  ⁹ tn Or “quarry workers”; Heb “cutters” (probably referring to stonecutters).

[2:2]  ¹⁰ tc The parallel text of MT in 1 Kgs 5:16 has “thirty-six hundred,” but some Greek mss there read “thirty-six hundred” in agreement with 2 Chr 2:2, 18.

[2:2]  tn Heb “and 3,600 supervisors over them.”

[2:18]  ¹¹ tn Heb “made.”

[2:18]  ¹² tn Heb “carriers of loads.”

[3:5]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “the large house.”

[3:5]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “wood of evergreens.”

[3:5]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “and he put up on it palm trees and chains.”

[3:8]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “the house of the holy place of holy places.”

[3:8]  ²⁰ tn Heb “twenty cubits.” Assuming a cubit of 18 inches (45 cm), this would give a length of 30 feet (9 m).

[3:8]  ²¹ tc Heb “twenty cubits.” Some suggest adding, “and its height twenty cubits” (see 1 Kgs 6:20). The phrase could have been omitted by homoioteleuton.

[3:8]  ²² tn The Hebrew word כִּכַּר (kikar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or, by extension, to a standard unit of weight. According to the older (Babylonian) standard the “talent” weighed 130 lbs. (58.9 kg), but later this was lowered to 108.3 lbs. (49.1 kg). More recent research suggests the “light” standard talent was 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg). Using this as the standard for calculation, the weight of the gold plating was 40,380 lbs. (18,360 kg).

[4:3]  ²³ tn Heb “ten every cubit.”

[4:5]  ²⁴ tn Heb “3,000 baths” (note that the capacity is given in 1 Kings 7:26 as “2,000 baths”). A bath was a liquid measure roughly equivalent to six gallons (about 22 liters), so 3,000 baths was a quantity of about 18,000 gallons (66,000 liters).

[6:13]  ²⁵ tn Heb “five cubits.” Assuming a cubit of 18 inches (45 cm), the length would have been 7.5 feet (2.25 m).

[6:13]  ²⁶ tn Heb “five cubits.”

[6:13]  ²⁷ tn Heb “three cubits.” Assuming a cubit of 18 inches (45 cm), the height would have been 4.5 feet (1.35 m).

[7:1]  ²⁸ tn Or “the sky.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[7:13]  ²⁹ tn Or “if.”

[7:13]  ³⁰ tn Or “heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[7:13]  ³¹ tn Heb “the land,” which stands here by metonymy for the vegetation growing in it.

[9:18]  ³² tc The parallel text of 1 Kgs 10:19 has instead “and the back of it was rounded on top.”

[9:18]  ³³ tn Heb “[There were] armrests on each side of the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.”

[9:21]  ³⁴ tn Heb “for ships belonging to the king were going [to] Tarshish with the servants of Huram.” This probably refers to large ships either made in or capable of traveling to the distant western port of Tarshish.

[9:21]  ³⁵ tn Heb “servants.”

[9:21]  ³⁶ tn Heb “the fleet of Tarshish [ships].”

[9:21]  ³⁷ tn Heb “the ships of Tarshish came carrying.”

[9:21]  ³⁸ tn The meaning of this word is unclear; some suggest it refers to “baboons.” NEB has “monkeys,” NASB, NRSV “peacocks,” and NIV “baboons.”

[9:27]  ³⁹ tn The words “as plentiful” are supplied for clarification.

[9:27]  ⁴⁰ tn Heb “he made cedar.”

[9:27]  ⁴¹ tn Heb “as the sycamore fig trees which are in the Shephelah.”

[10:15]  ⁴² tn Heb “because this turn of events was from God.”

[10:15]  ⁴³ tn Heb “so that the Lord might bring to pass his word which he spoke.”

[11:16]  ⁴⁴ tn Heb “and after them from all the tribes of Israel, the ones giving their heart[s] to seek the Lord God of Israel came [to] Jerusalem.”

[11:16]  ⁴⁵ tn Heb “fathers.”

[15:11]  ⁴⁶ tn Or “In that day.”

[15:11]  ⁴⁷ tn The Hebrew term צֹאן (tso’n) 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.

[15:18]  ⁴⁸ tn Heb “and he brought the holy things of his father and his holy things [into] the house of God, silver, gold, and items.”

[19:8]  ⁴⁹ tn Heb “for the judgment of the Lord.”

[19:8]  ⁵⁰ tc Heb “and to conduct a case [or “for controversy”], and they returned [to] Jerusalem.” Some emend וַיָּשֻׁבוּ (vayyashuvu, “and they returned”) to וַיֵּשְׁבוּ (vayyeshÿvu, “and they lived [in]”). The present translation assumes an emendation to יֹשְׁבֵי (yoshÿvey, “residents of”).

[20:19]  ⁵¹ tn Heb “arose to praise the Lord God of Israel with a very loud voice.”

[20:23]  ⁵² tn Heb “the sons of Ammon and Moab stood against the residents of Mount Seir.”

[20:23]  ⁵³ tn Heb “to annihilate and to destroy.”

[20:23]  ⁵⁴ tn Heb “residents.”

[20:23]  ⁵⁵ tn Heb “they helped, each one his fellow, for destruction.” The verb עָזַר (’azar), traditionally understood as the well-attested verb meaning “to help,” is an odd fit in this context. It is possible that it is from a homonymic root, perhaps meaning to “attack.” This root is attested in Ugaritic in a nominal form meaning “young man, warrior, hero.” For a discussion of the proposed root, see HALOT 811 s.v. II עזר.

[22:2]  ⁵⁶ tc Heb “forty-two,” but the parallel passage in 2 Kgs 8:26 reads “twenty-two” along with some mss of the LXX and the Syriac.

[22:2]  ⁵⁷ tn The Hebrew term בַּת (bat, “daughter”) can refer, as here, to a granddaughter. See HALOT 165-66 s.v. I בַּת 1.

[22:4]  ⁵⁸ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[22:4]  ⁵⁹ tn That is, the members of Ahab’s royal house.

[23:9]  ⁶⁰ tn The Hebrew text lists two different types of shields here. Most translations render “the large and small shields” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV; NEB “King David’s spears, shields, and bucklers”).

[23:10]  ⁶¹ tn Heb “and he stationed all the people, each with his weapon in his hand, from the south shoulder of the house to the north shoulder of the house, at the altar and at the house, near the king all around.”
