Discovery Box2 Chronicles 10:16 
Context10:16 When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, the people answered the king, “We have no portion in David – no share in the son of Jesse! 1 Return to your homes, O Israel! 2 Now, look after your own dynasty, O David!” 3 So all Israel returned to their homes. 4
2 Chronicles 25:16
Context25:16 While he was speaking, Amaziah 5 said to him, “Did we appoint you to be a royal counselor? Stop prophesying or else you will be killed!” 6 So the prophet stopped, but added, “I know that the Lord has decided 7 to destroy you, because you have done this thing and refused to listen to my advice.”
1 sn The people’s point seems to be that they have no familial relationship with David that brings them any benefits or places upon them any obligations. They are being treated like outsiders.
2 tn Heb “each one to your tents, Israel.” The word “return” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
3 tn Heb “Now see your house, David.”
4 tn Heb “went to their tents.”
5 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Amaziah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
6 tn Heb “Stop yourself! Why should they strike you down?”
7 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.”
