2 Chronicles 6:26

Context

6:26 “The time will come when 1  the skies 2  are shut up tightly and no rain falls because your people 3  sinned against you. When they direct their prayers toward this place, renew their allegiance to you, 4  and turn away from their sin because you punish 5  them,

2 Chronicles 6:36

Context

6:36 “The time will come when your people 6  will sin against you (for there is no one who is sinless!) and you will be angry at them and deliver them over to their enemies, who will take them as prisoners to their land, whether far away or close by.

2 Chronicles 25:24

Context
25:24 He took away all the gold and silver, all the items found in God’s temple that were in the care of Obed-Edom, the riches in the royal palace, and some hostages. Then he went back to Samaria.

2 Chronicles 36:18

Context
36:18 He carried away to Babylon all the items in God’s temple, whether large or small, as well as what was in the treasuries of the Lord’s temple and in the treasuries of the king and his officials.

1 tn Heb “when.” In the Hebrew text vv. 26-27a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided into two sentences for stylistic reasons.

2 tn Or “heavens” (also in v. 12). The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

3 tn Heb “they.”

4 tn Heb “confess [or perhaps, “praise”] your name.”

5 tn The Hebrew text reads “because you answer them,” as if the verb is from עָנָה (’anah, “answer”). However, this reference to a divine answer is premature, since the next verse asks for God to intervene in mercy. It is better to revocalize the consonantal text as תְעַנֵּם (tÿannem, “you afflict them”), a Piel verb form from the homonym עָנָה (“afflict”).

6 tn Heb “they”; the referent (God’s people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
