2 Tawarikh 15:2

15:2 He met ¹  Asa and told him, “Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin! The Lord is with you when you are loyal to him. ²  If you seek him, he will respond to you, ³  but if you reject him, he will reject you.

2 Tawarikh 32:12

32:12 Hezekiah is the one who eliminated ⁴  the Lord’s ⁵  high places and altars and then told Judah and Jerusalem, “At one altar you must worship and offer sacrifices.”

[15:2]  ¹ tn Heb “went out before.”

[15:2]  ² tn Heb “when you are with him.”

[15:2]  ³ tn Heb “he will allow himself to be found by you.”

[32:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “Did not he, Hezekiah, eliminate…?” This rhetorical question presupposes a positive reply (“yes, he did”) and so has been translated here as a positive statement.

[32:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “his”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
