2 Tawarikh 6:33

6:33 Then listen from your heavenly dwelling place and answer all the prayers of the foreigners. ¹  Then all the nations of the earth will acknowledge your reputation, ²  obey ³  you like your people Israel do, and recognize that this temple I built belongs to you. ⁴ 

2 Tawarikh 9:7

2 Tawarikh 25:6

25:6 He hired 100,000 Israelite warriors for a hundred talents ⁶  of silver.

[6:33]  ¹ tn Heb “and do all which the foreigner calls to [i.e., “requests of”] you.”

[6:33]  ² tn Heb “name.” See the note on “reputation” in v. 32.

[6:33]  ³ tn Heb “fear.”

[6:33]  ⁴ tn Heb “that your name is called over this house which I built.” The Hebrew idiom “call the name over” indicates ownership. See 2 Sam 12:28.

[9:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “How happy are your men! How happy are these servants of yours, who stand before you continually, who hear your wisdom!”

[25:6]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew word כִּכַּר (kikar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or, by extension, to a standard unit of weight. According to the older (Babylonian) standard the “talent” weighed 130 lbs. (58.9 kg), but later this was lowered to 108.3 lbs. (49.1 kg). More recent research suggests the “light” standard talent was 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg). Using this as the standard for calculation, the weight of the silver was 6,730 lbs. (3,060 kg).
