2 Chronicles 12:12

12:12 So when Rehoboam 1  humbled himself, the Lord relented from his anger and did not annihilate him; 2  Judah experienced some good things. 3 

2 Chronicles 19:3

19:3 Nevertheless you have done some good things; 4  you removed 5  the Asherah poles from the land and you were determined to follow the Lord.” 6 

1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Rehoboam) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Heb “the anger of the Lord turned from him and did not destroy completely.”

3 tn Heb “and also in Judah there were good things.”

4 tn Heb “nevertheless good things are found with you.”

5 tn Here בָּעַר (ba’ar) is not the well attested verb “burn,” but the less common homonym meaning “devastate, sweep away, remove.” See HALOT 146 s.v. II בער.

6 tn Heb “and you set your heart to seek the Lord.”
