1 Chronicles 15:13

15:13 The first time you did not carry it; that is why the Lord God attacked us, because we did not ask him about the proper way to carry it.” 1 

1 Chronicles 17:27

17:27 Now you are willing to bless your servant’s dynasty 2  so that it may stand permanently before you, for you, O Lord, have blessed it and it will be blessed from now on into the future.” 3 

1 Chronicles 21:22

21:22 David said to Ornan, “Sell me the threshing floor 4  so I can build 5  on it an altar for the Lord – I’ll pay top price 6  – so that the plague may be removed 7  from the people.”

1 tn Heb “because for what was at first [i.e., formerly] you [were] not, the Lord our God broke out against us, because we did not seek him concerning the procedure.”

2 tn Heb “house.”

3 tn Heb “for you, O Lord, have blessed and [it is] blessed permanently.”

4 tn Heb “the place of the threshing floor.”

5 tn Following the imperative, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive here indicates the immediate purpose/result: “so I can build.”

6 tn Heb “For full silver sell to me.”

7 tn Following the imperative and first person prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive, this third person prefixed verbal form with vav conjunctive introduces the ultimate purpose/result: “so the plague may be removed.” Another option is subordinate this form to the preceding imperative, but the latter may be taken as a parenthetical expansion of the initial request.
