2 Chronicles 13:12
13:12 Now look, God is with us as our leader. His priests are ready to blow the trumpets to signal the attack against you. 1 You Israelites, don’t fight against the Lord God of your ancestors, 2 for you will not win!”
2 Chronicles 20:9
20:9 ‘If disaster comes on us in the form of military attack, 3 judgment, plague, or famine, we will stand in front of this temple before you, for you are present in this temple. 4 We will cry out to you for help in our distress, so that you will 5 hear and deliver us.’
1 tn Heb “and his priests and the trumpets of the war alarm [are ready] to sound out against you.”
2 tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 18).
3 tn Heb “sword.”
4 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.
5 tn Or “so that you may.”
