2 Chronicles 2:16

2:16 we will get all the timber you need from Lebanon ¹  and bring it ²  in raft-like bundles ³  by sea to Joppa. You can then haul it on up to Jerusalem.”

2 Chronicles 20:25

20:25 Jehoshaphat and his men ⁴  went to gather the plunder; they found a huge amount of supplies, clothing ⁵  and valuable items. They carried away everything they could. ⁶  There was so much plunder, it took them three days to haul it off. ⁷

¹ tn Heb “and we will cut down trees from Lebanon according to all your need.”

² tn Heb “to you,” but this phrase has not been translated for stylistic reasons – it is somewhat redundant.

³ tn Or “on rafts.” See the note at 1 Kgs 5:9.

⁴ tn Or “army.”

⁵ tc The MT reads פְגָרִים (fÿgarim, “corpses”), but this seems odd among a list of plunder. A few medieval Hebrew mss and the Vulgate read בְגָדִים (vÿgadim, “clothing”), which fits the context much better.

⁶ tn Heb “and they snatched away for themselves so that there was no carrying away.”

⁷ tn Heb “and they were three days looting the plunder for it was great.”
