2 Tawarikh 2:14

2:14 whose mother is a Danite and whose father is a Tyrian. ¹  He knows how to work with gold, silver, bronze, iron, stones, and wood, as well as purple, violet, white, and crimson fabrics. He knows how to do all kinds of engraving and understands any design given to him. He will work with your skilled craftsmen and the skilled craftsmen of my lord David your father.

2 Tawarikh 22:11

22:11 So Jehoshabeath, ²  the daughter of King Jehoram, ³  took Ahaziah’s son Joash and sneaked him away ⁴  from the rest of the royal descendants who were to be executed. She hid him and his nurse in the room where the bed covers were stored. So Jehoshabeath the daughter of King Jehoram, wife of Jehoiada the priest and sister of Ahaziah, hid him from Athaliah so she could not execute him.

2 Tawarikh 25:18

25:18 King Joash of Israel sent this message back to King Amaziah of Judah, “A thorn bush in Lebanon sent this message to a cedar in Lebanon, ‘Give your daughter to my son as a wife.’ Then a wild animal of Lebanon came by and trampled down the thorn bush. ⁵ 

[2:14]  ¹ tn Heb “a son of a woman from the daughters of Dan, and his father a man of Tyre.”

[22:11]  ² sn Jehoshabeath is a variant spelling of the name Jehosheba (2 Kgs 11:2).

[22:11]  ³ tn Heb “the king”; the referent (King Jehoram, see later in this verse) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “stole.”

[25:18]  ⁵ sn The thorn bush in the allegory is Judah. Amaziah’s success had deceived him into thinking he was on the same level as the major powers in the area (symbolized by the cedar). In reality he was not capable of withstanding an attack by a real military power such as Israel (symbolized by the wild animal).
