2 Chronicles 1:1

The Lord Gives Solomon Wisdom

1:1 Solomon son of David solidified his royal authority, for the Lord his God was with him and magnified him greatly.

2 Chronicles 11:22

11:22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as the leader over his brothers, for he intended to name him his successor.


tn Heb “and Solomon son of David strengthened himself over his kingdom.”

tn The disjunctive clause (note the vav [ו] + subject pattern) probably has a causal nuance here.

tn Heb “and Rehoboam appointed for a head Abijah son of Maacah for ruler among his brothers, indeed to make him king.”
