2 Chronicles 28:5

Context

2 Chronicles 28:16-21

Context

28:16 At that time King Ahaz asked the king 4  of Assyria for help. 28:17 The Edomites had again invaded and defeated Judah and carried off captives. 28:18 The Philistines had raided the cities of Judah in the lowlands 5  and the Negev. They captured and settled in Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco and its surrounding villages, Timnah and its surrounding villages, and Gimzo and its surrounding villages. 28:19 The Lord humiliated 6  Judah because of King Ahaz of Israel, 7  for he encouraged Judah to sin and was very 8  unfaithful to the Lord. 28:20 King Tiglath-pileser 9  of Assyria came, but he gave him more trouble than support. 10  28:21 Ahaz gathered riches 11  from the Lord’s temple, the royal palace, and the officials and gave them to the king of Assyria, but that did not help.

1 tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Syrians) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Heb “and took captive from him a great captivity and brought [them] to Damascus.”

3 tn Heb “who struck him down with a great striking.”

5 tn Heb “Shephelah.”

6 tn Or “subdued.”

7 sn That is, “of Judah.” Frequently in 2 Chronicles “Israel” is substituted for “Judah.”

8 tn The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verbal form to emphasize the degree of Ahaz’s unfaithfulness.

9 tn Heb “Tilgath-pilneser,” a variant spelling of Tiglath-pileser.

10 tn Heb “and he caused him distress and did not strengthen him.”

11 tn Heb “divided up,” but some read חִלֵּץ (khillets, “despoiled”).
