2 Tawarikh 9:8

9:8 May the Lord your God be praised because he favored ¹  you by placing you on his throne as the one ruling on his behalf! ²  Because of your God’s love for Israel and his lasting commitment to them, ³  he made you king over them so you could make just and right decisions.” ⁴ 

2 Tawarikh 20:9

20:9 ‘If disaster comes on us in the form of military attack, ⁵  judgment, plague, or famine, we will stand in front of this temple before you, for you are present in this temple. ⁶  We will cry out to you for help in our distress, so that you will ⁷  hear and deliver us.’

2 Tawarikh 31:5

31:5 When the edict was issued, ⁸  the Israelites freely contributed ⁹  the initial portion of their grain, wine, olive oil, honey, and all the produce of their fields. They brought a tenth of everything, which added up to a huge amount.

[9:8]  ¹ tn Or “delighted in.”

[9:8]  ² tn Heb “as king for the Lord your God.”

[9:8]  ³ tn Heb “to make him stand permanently.”

[9:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “to do justice and righteousness.”

[20:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “sword.”

[20:9]  ⁶ 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]  ⁷ tn Or “so that you may.”

[31:5]  ⁸ tn Heb “and when the word spread out.”

[31:5]  ⁹ tn Heb “the sons of Israel multiplied.”
