Discovery Box2 Chronicles 1:11 
Context1:11 God said to Solomon, “Because you desire this, 1 and did not ask for riches, wealth, and honor, or for vengeance on your enemies, 2 and because you did not ask for long life, 3 but requested wisdom and discernment so you can make judicial decisions for my people over whom I have made you king,
2 Chronicles 10:10
Context10:10 The young advisers with whom Rehoboam 4 had grown up said to him, “Say this to these people who have said to you, ‘Your father made us work hard, but now lighten our burden’ 5 – say this to them: ‘I am a lot harsher than my father! 6
2 Chronicles 13:9
Context13:9 But you banished 7 the Lord’s priests, Aaron’s descendants, and the Levites, and appointed your own priests just as the surrounding nations do! Anyone who comes to consecrate himself with a young bull or seven rams becomes a priest of these fake gods! 8
2 Chronicles 13:11
Context13:11 They offer burnt sacrifices to the Lord every morning and every evening, along with fragrant incense. They arrange the Bread of the Presence on a ritually clean table and light the lamps on the gold lampstand every evening.

2 Chronicles 14:11
Context14:11 Asa prayed 10 to the Lord his God: “O Lord, there is no one but you who can help the weak when they are vastly outnumbered. 11 Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you and have marched on your behalf against this huge army. 12 O Lord our God, don’t let men prevail against you!” 13

2 Chronicles 21:13
Context21:13 but have instead followed in the footsteps of the kings of Israel. You encouraged the people of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem to be unfaithful to the Lord, just as the family of Ahab does in Israel. 19 You also killed your brothers, members of your father’s family, 20 who were better than you.
2 Chronicles 24:5
Context24:5 He assembled the priests and Levites and ordered them, “Go out to the cities of Judah and collect the annual quota of silver from all Israel for repairs on the temple of your God. Be quick about it!” But the Levites delayed.
2 Chronicles 24:25
Context24:25 When they withdrew, they left Joash 21 badly wounded. His servants plotted against him because of what he had done to 22 the son 23 of Jehoiada the priest. They murdered him on his bed. Thus 24 he died and was buried in the City of David, 25 but not in the tombs of the kings.
2 Chronicles 25:16
Context25:16 While he was speaking, Amaziah 26 said to him, “Did we appoint you to be a royal counselor?

2 Chronicles 28:23

2 Chronicles 29:34
Context29:34 But there were not enough priests to skin all the animals, 31 so their brothers, the Levites, helped them until the work was finished and the priests could consecrate themselves. (The Levites had been more conscientious about consecrating themselves than the priests.) 32

1 tn Heb “because this was in your heart.”
2 tn Heb “the life of those who hate you.”
3 tn Heb “many days.”
4 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Rehoboam) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
5 tn Heb “Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter upon us.”
6 tn Heb “My little one is thicker than my father’s hips.” The referent of “my little one” is not clear. The traditional view is that it refers to the little finger (so NEB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). As the following statement makes clear, Rehoboam’s point is that he is more harsh and demanding than his father.
7 tn In the Hebrew text this is phrased as a rhetorical question, “Did you not banish?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “Of course you did,” the force of which is reflected in the translation “But you banished.”
8 tn Heb “whoever comes to fill his hand with a bull of a son of cattle, and seven rams, and he is a priest to no-gods.”
9 tn Or “for.”
10 tn Heb “called out.”
11 tn Heb “there is not with you to help between many with regard to [the one] without strength.”
12 tn Heb “and in your name we have come against this multitude.”
13 tn Heb “let not man retain [strength] with you.”
14 tn Heb “went out before.”
15 tn Heb “when you are with him.”
16 tn Heb “he will allow himself to be found by you.”
17 tn Heb “all Judah.” The words “you people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” by metonymy for the people of Judah. Unlike the previous instance in v. 13 where infants, wives, and children are mentioned separately, this reference appears to include them all.
18 tn Or perhaps “don’t get discouraged.”
19 tn Heb “and you walked in the way of the kings of Israel and caused Judah and the residents of Jerusalem to commit adultery, like the house of Ahab causes to commit adultery.”
20 tn Heb “the house of your father.”
21 tn Heb “him”; the referent (Joash) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
22 tn Heb “because of the shed blood of.”
23 tc The MT has the plural בְּנֵי (bÿney, “sons”), but the final yod is dittographic. Note the yod that immediately follows.
24 tn Heb “and he died.”
25 sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.
26 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Amaziah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
27 tn Heb “Stop yourself! Why should they strike you down?”
28 tn The verb יָעַץ (ya’ats, “has decided”) is from the same root as יוֹעֵץ (yo’ets, “counselor”) in v. 16 and עֵצָה (’etsah, “advice”) later in v. 16. The wordplay highlights the appropriate nature of the divine punishment. Amaziah rejected the counsel of God’s prophet; now he would be the victim of God’s “counsel.”
29 tn Heb “the gods of Damascus, the ones who had defeated him.” The words “he thought” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The perspective is that of Ahaz, not the narrator! Another option is that “the kings” has been accidentally omitted after “gods of.” See v. 23b.
30 tn Heb “said.”
31 tn Heb “the burnt sacrifices.”
32 tn Heb “for the Levites were more pure of heart to consecrate themselves than the priests.”
33 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Neco) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
34 tn Heb “What to me and to you, king of Judah?”
35 tn Heb “Not against you, you, today, but against the house of my battle.”
36 tn Heb “Stop yourself from [opposing] God who is with me and let him not destroy you.”
