2 Tawarikh 7:22

7:22 Others will then answer, ⁵  ‘Because they abandoned the Lord God of their ancestors, ⁶  who led them out of Egypt. They embraced other gods whom they worshiped and served. ⁷  That is why he brought all this disaster down on them.’”

2 Tawarikh 32:21

[6:28]  ¹ tn Actually two Hebrew words appear here, both of which are usually (but not always) taken as referring to locusts. Perhaps different stages of growth or different varieties are in view, but this is uncertain. NEB has “locusts new-sloughed or fully grown”; NASB has “locust or grasshopper”; NIV has “locusts or grasshoppers”; NRSV has “locust, or caterpillar.”

[6:28]  ² tn Heb “in the land, his gates.”

[6:38]  ³ tn Or “soul.”

[6:38]  ⁴ tn Heb “your name.” The word “name” sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor (thus the translation here, “your honor”).

[7:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “and they will say.”

[7:22]  ⁶ tn Heb “fathers.”

[7:22]  ⁷ tn Heb “and they took hold of other gods and bowed down to them and served them.”

[15:9]  ⁸ tn Or “resident aliens.”

[15:9]  ⁹ tn Heb “had fallen upon him.”

[15:15]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and with all their desire they sought him and he allowed himself to be found by them.”

[15:15]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and the Lord gave them rest all around.”

[16:9]  ¹² tn Or “for.”

[16:9]  ¹³ tn Heb “the eyes of the Lord move quickly through all the earth.”

[16:9]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “to strengthen himself with their heart, [the one] complete toward him.”

[18:5]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “Should we go against Ramoth Gilead for war or should I refrain?”

[18:5]  ¹⁶ tn Though Jehoshaphat had requested an oracle from “the Lord” (יְהוָה, yÿhvah, “Yahweh”), the Israelite prophets stop short of actually using this name and substitute the title הָאֱלֹהִים (ha’elohim, “the God”). This ambiguity may explain in part Jehoshaphat’s hesitancy and caution (vv. 7-8). He seems to doubt that the 400 are genuine prophets of the Lord.

[20:7]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “did you not drive out?” This is another rhetorical question which expects a positive response; see the note on the word “heaven” in the previous verse.

[20:7]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “permanently.”

[20:7]  ¹⁹ tn Or perhaps “your covenantal partner.” See Isa 41:8.

[20:10]  ²⁰ tn Heb “now, look, the sons of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir.”

[20:10]  ²¹ tn Heb “whom you did not allow Israel to enter when they came from the land of Egypt.”

[21:20]  ²² tn Heb “and he went without desire.”

[21:20]  ²³ sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.

[26:15]  ²⁴ tn Heb “and his name went out to a distant place, for he did extraordinarily to be helped until he was strong.”

[30:9]  ²⁵ tn Heb “turn [his] face from you.”

[32:15]  ²⁶ tn Heb “how much less.”

[32:15]  ²⁷ tn The verb is plural, suggesting that the preceding אֱלֹהֵיכֶם (’elohekhem) be translated “your gods,” rather than “your God.”

[32:21]  ²⁸ tn Or “an angel.”

[32:21]  ²⁹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Sennacherib) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[32:21]  ³⁰ tn Heb “and he returned with shame of face to his land.”

[32:21]  ³¹ tn Heb “and some from those who went out from him, from his inward parts.”
