2 Chronicles 6:30

6:30 then listen from your heavenly dwelling place, forgive their sin, ¹  and act favorably toward each one based on your evaluation of their motives. ²  (Indeed you are the only one who can correctly evaluate the motives of all people.) ³ 

2 Chronicles 32:12

32:12 Hezekiah is the one who eliminated ⁴  the Lord’s ⁵  high places and altars and then told Judah and Jerusalem, “At one altar you must worship and offer sacrifices.”

¹ tn The words “their sin” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied for clarification.

² tn Heb “and act and give to each one according to all his ways because you know his heart.” In the Hebrew text vv. 28-30a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided up for stylistic reasons.

³ tn Heb “Indeed you know, you alone, the heart of all the sons of mankind.”

⁴ tn Heb “Did not he, Hezekiah, eliminate…?” This rhetorical question presupposes a positive reply (“yes, he did”) and so has been translated here as a positive statement.

⁵ tn Heb “his”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
