2 Chronicles 20:7

20:7 Our God, you drove out ¹  the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel and gave it as a permanent possession ²  to the descendants of your friend ³  Abraham.

2 Chronicles 33:2

33:2 He did evil in the sight of ⁴  the Lord and committed the same horrible sins practiced by the nations ⁵  whom the Lord drove out ahead of the Israelites.

¹ tn Heb “did you not drive out?” This is another rhetorical question which expects a positive response; see the note on the word “heaven” in the previous verse.

² tn Heb “permanently.”

³ tn Or perhaps “your covenantal partner.” See Isa 41:8.

⁴ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

⁵ tn Heb “like the abominable practices of the nations.”
