2 Kings 19:4

19:4 Perhaps the Lord your God will hear all these things the chief adviser has spoken on behalf of his master, the king of Assyria, who sent him to taunt the living God. When the Lord your God hears, perhaps he will punish him for the things he has said. So pray for this remnant that remains.’”

2 Kings 22:13

22:13 “Go, seek an oracle from the Lord for me and the people – for all Judah. Find out about the words of this scroll that has been discovered. For the Lord’s fury has been ignited against us, because our ancestors have not obeyed the words of this scroll by doing all that it instructs us to do.”


tn Heb “all the words of the chief adviser whom his master, the king of Assyria, sent to taunt the living God.”

tn Heb “and rebuke the words which the Lord your God hears.”

tn Heb “and lift up a prayer on behalf of the remnant that is found.”

tn Or “inquire of.”

tn Heb “concerning.”

tn Heb “for great is the anger of the Lord which has been ignited against us.”

tn Heb “by doing all that is written concerning us.” Perhaps עָלֵינוּ (’alenu), “concerning us,” should be altered to עָלָיו (’alav), “upon it,” in which case one could translate, “by doing all that is written in it.”
