2 Chronicles 24:23

Context

24:23 At the beginning 1  of the year the Syrian army attacked 2  Joash 3  and invaded Judah and Jerusalem. They wiped out all the leaders of the people and sent all the plunder they gathered to the king of Damascus.

2 Chronicles 36:10

Context
36:10 At the beginning of the year King Nebuchadnezzar ordered him to be brought 4  to Babylon, along with the valuable items in the Lord’s temple. In his place he made his relative 5  Zedekiah king over Judah and Jerusalem.

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”).
