2 Chronicles 6:28-29

Context

6:28 “The time will come when the land suffers from a famine, a plague, blight, and disease, or a locust 1  invasion, or when their enemy lays siege to the cities of the land, 2  or when some other type of plague or epidemic occurs. 6:29 When all your people Israel pray and ask for help, 3  as they acknowledge their intense pain 4  and spread out their hands toward this temple,

1 tn Actually two Hebrew words appear here, both of which are usually (but not always) taken as referring to locusts.

2 tn Heb “in the land, his gates.”

3 tn Heb “every prayer, every request for help which will be to all the people, to all your people Israel.”

4 tn Heb “which they know, each his pain and his affliction.”
