2 Tawarikh 20:9

20:9 ‘If disaster comes on us in the form of military attack, ⁸  judgment, plague, or famine, we will stand in front of this temple before you, for you are present in this temple. ⁹  We will cry out to you for help in our distress, so that you will ¹⁰  hear and deliver us.’

[6:23]  ¹ tn Heb “and you, hear [from] heaven and act and judge your servants by repaying the guilty, to give his way on his head, and to declare the innocent to be innocent, to give to him according to his innocence.”

[6:27]  ² tn The present translation understands כִּי (ki) in an emphatic or asseverative sense (“Certainly”). Other translation have “indeed” (NASB), “when” (NRSV), “so” (NEB), or leave the word untranslated (NIV).

[6:27]  ³ tn Heb “the good way in which they should walk.”

[6:27]  ⁴ tn Or “for an inheritance.”

[6:30]  ⁵ tn The words “their sin” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied for clarification.

[6:30]  ⁶ tn Heb “and act and give to each one according to all his ways because you know his heart.” In the Hebrew text vv. 28-30a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided up for stylistic reasons.

[6:30]  ⁷ tn Heb “Indeed you know, you alone, the heart of all the sons of mankind.”

[20:9]  ⁸ tn Heb “sword.”

[20:9]  ⁹ tn Heb “for your name is in this house.” The “name” of the Lord sometimes designates the Lord himself, being indistinguishable from the proper name. In this case the temple is referred to as a “house” where the Lord himself can reside.

[20:9]  ¹⁰ tn Or “so that you may.”

[34:28]  ¹¹ tn Heb “Therefore, behold, I am gathering you to your fathers, and you will be gathered to your tomb in peace.”
