2 Chronicles 25:19

1 tn The Hebrew word עֵדוּת (’edut) normally means “witness” or “testimony.” Here it probably refers to some tangible symbol of kingship, perhaps a piece of jewelry such as an amulet or neck chain (see the discussion in M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings [AB], 128). Some suggest that a document is in view, perhaps a copy of the royal protocol or of the stipulations of the Davidic covenant (see HALOT 790-91 s.v.).

2 tn Or “they made him king and anointed him.”

3 tn Heb “you say [to yourself], ‘look, you have defeated Edom.’”

4 tn Heb “and your heart is lifted up.”

5 tn Heb “to glorify.”

6 tn Heb “Why get involved in calamity and fall, you and Judah with you?”
