2 Tawarikh 8:11

8:11 Solomon moved Pharaoh’s daughter up from the City of David ¹  to the palace he had built for her, for he said, “My wife must not live in the palace of King David of Israel, for the places where the ark of the Lord has entered are holy.”

2 Tawarikh 23:11

2 Tawarikh 26:19

26:19 Uzziah, who had an incense censer in his hand, became angry. While he was ranting and raving ⁴  at the priests, a skin disease ⁵  appeared on his forehead right there in front of the priests in the Lord’s temple near the incense altar.

2 Tawarikh 33:15

2 Tawarikh 36:23

36:23 It read: “This is what King Cyrus of Persia says: ‘The Lord God of the heavens has given to me all the kingdoms of the earth. He has appointed me to build for him a temple in Jerusalem ⁶  in Judah. May the Lord your God energize you who belong to his people, so you may be able to go back there!” ⁷ 

[8:11]  ¹ sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.

[23:11]  ² tn The Hebrew word עֵדוּת (’edut) normally means “witness” or “testimony.” Here it probably refers to some tangible symbol of kingship, perhaps a piece of jewelry such as an amulet or neck chain (see the discussion in M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings [AB], 128). Some suggest that a document is in view, perhaps a copy of the royal protocol or of the stipulations of the Davidic covenant (see HALOT 790-91 s.v.).

[23:11]  ³ tn Or “they made him king and anointed him.”

[26:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “angry.”

[26:19]  ⁵ tn Traditionally “leprosy,” but this was probably a skin disorder of some type, not leprosy (technically known today as Hansen’s disease). See 2 Kgs 5:1.
