2 Chronicles 33:19

2 Chronicles 34:9

Context
34:9 They went to Hilkiah the high priest and gave him the silver that had been brought to God’s temple.

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 (Amaziah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

5 tn Heb “Stop yourself! Why should they strike you down?”

6 tn The verb יָעַץ (yaats, “has decided”) is from the same root as יוֹעֵץ (yoets, “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.”

7 tn Heb “stood against.”

8 tn Or “been unfaithful.”

9 tn Heb “and his prayer and being entreated by him, and all his sin and his unfaithfulness and the places where he built high places and set up Asherah poles and idols before he humbled himself – behold, they are written on the words of his seers.”

10 tn Heb “from Manasseh and Ephraim.” The words “the people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the names “Manasseh and Ephraim” here by metonymy for the people of Manasseh and Ephraim.

11 tn Heb “all Judah and Benjamin.” The words “the people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the names “Judah and Benjamin” here by metonymy for the people of Judah and Benjamin.

12 tc The Hebrew consonantal text (Kethib) assumes the reading, “and the residents of.” The marginal reading (Qere) is “and they returned.”
