2 Tawarikh 6:12
Konteks6:12 He stood before the altar of the Lord in front of the entire assembly of Israel and spread out his hands.
2 Tawarikh 7:21
Konteks7:21 As for this temple, which was once majestic, 89 everyone who passes by it will be shocked and say, ‘Why did the Lord do this to this land and this temple?’
2 Tawarikh 24:21
Konteks24:21 They plotted against him and by royal decree stoned him to death in the courtyard of the Lord’s temple.
2 Tawarikh 32:31

2 Tawarikh 10:10
Konteks10:10 The young advisers with whom Rehoboam 93 had grown up said to him, “Say this to these people who have said to you, ‘Your father made us work hard, but now lighten our burden’ 94 – say this to them: ‘I am a lot harsher than my father! 95
2 Tawarikh 33:6
Konteks33:6 He passed his sons through the fire 96 in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom and practiced divination, omen reading, and sorcery.

Konteks14:11 Asa prayed 99 to the Lord his God: “O Lord, there is no one but you who can help the weak when they are vastly outnumbered. 100 Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you and have marched on your behalf against this huge army. 101 O Lord our God, don’t let men prevail against you!” 102

The traditional view is that it refers to the little finger (so NEB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). As the following statement makes clear, Rehoboam’s point is that he is more harsh and demanding than his father.
[33:6] 96 tn Or “he sacrificed his sons in the fire.” This may refer to child sacrifice, though some interpret it as a less drastic cultic practice (NEB, NASV “made his sons pass through the fire”; NIV “sacrificed his sons in the fire”; NRSV “made his sons pass through fire”). For discussion see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 266-67.
[33:6] 97 tn Heb “and he set up a ritual pit, along with a conjurer.” Hebrew אוֹב (’ov, “ritual pit”) refers to a pit used by a magician to conjure up underworld spirits.
