2 Chronicles 14:6-7

Context

14:6 He built fortified cities throughout Judah, for the land was at rest and there was no war during those years; the Lord gave him peace. 14:7 He said to the people of Judah: 1  “Let’s build these cities and fortify them with walls, towers, and barred gates. 2  The land remains ours because we have followed 3  the Lord our God and he has made us secure on all sides.” 4  So they built the cities 5  and prospered.

1 tn The words “the people of” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” by metonymy for the people of Judah.

2 tn Heb “and we will surround [them] with wall[s] and towers, doors, and bars.”

3 tn Heb “sought.”

4 tn Heb “and he has given us rest all around.”

5 tn The words “the cities” are supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.
