2 Chronicles 18:29

Context
18:29 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and then enter 1  the battle; but you wear your royal attire.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and they entered the battle.

2 Chronicles 35:22

Context
35:22 But Josiah did not turn back from him; 2  he disguised himself for battle. He did not take seriously 3  the words of Necho which he had received from God; he went to fight him in the Plain of Megiddo. 4 

1 tn The Hebrew verbal forms could be imperatives (“Disguise yourself and enter”), but this would make no sense in light of the immediately following context. The forms are better interpreted as infinitives absolute functioning as cohortatives (see IBHS 594 §35.5.2a). Some prefer to emend the forms to imperfects.

2 tn Heb “and Josiah did not turn his face from him.”

3 tn Heb “listen to.”
