2 Chronicles 2:16

Context
2:16 we will get all the timber you need from Lebanon 1  and bring it 2  in raft-like bundles 3  by sea to Joppa. You can then haul it on up to Jerusalem.”

2 Chronicles 20:25

Context
20:25 Jehoshaphat and his men 4  went to gather the plunder; they found a huge amount of supplies, clothing 5  and valuable items. They carried away everything they could. 6  There was so much plunder, it took them three days to haul it off. 7 

1 tn Heb “and we will cut down trees from Lebanon according to all your need.”

2 tn Heb “to you,” but this phrase has not been translated for stylistic reasons – it is somewhat redundant.

3 tn Or “on rafts.” See the note at 1 Kgs 5:9.

4 tn Or “army.”

5 tc The MT reads פְגָרִים (fÿgarim, “corpses”), but this seems odd among a list of plunder. A few medieval Hebrew mss and the Vulgate read בְגָדִים (vÿgadim, “clothing”), which fits the context much better.

6 tn Heb “and they snatched away for themselves so that there was no carrying away.”

7 tn Heb “and they were three days looting the plunder for it was great.”
