2 Chronicles 36:10

1 tn Heb “turning.”
2 tn Heb “went up against.”
3 tn Heb “him”; the referent (Joash) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
4 tn Heb “sent and brought him.”
5 tn Heb “and he made Zedekiah his brother king.” According to the parallel text in 2 Kgs 24:17, Zedekiah was Jehoiachin’s uncle, not his brother. Therefore many interpreters understand אח here in its less specific sense of “relative” (NEB “made his father’s brother Zedekiah king”; NASB “made his kinsman Zedekiah king”; NIV “made Jehoiachin’s uncle, Zedekiah, king”; NRSV “made his brother Zedekiah king”).
