2 Chronicles 6:5

Context
6:5 He told David, 1  ‘Since the day I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I have not chosen a city from all the tribes of Israel to build a temple in which to live. 2  Nor did I choose a man as leader of my people Israel.

2 Chronicles 13:12

Context
13:12 Now look, God is with us as our leader. His priests are ready to blow the trumpets to signal the attack against you. 3  You Israelites, don’t fight against the Lord God of your ancestors, 4  for you will not win!”

2 Chronicles 19:11

Context
19:11 You will report to Amariah the chief priest in all matters pertaining to the Lord’s law, and to Zebadiah son of Ishmael, the leader of the family of Judah, in all matters pertaining to the king. 5  The Levites will serve as officials before you. Confidently carry out your duties! 6  May the Lord be with those who do well!”

1 tn Heb “saying.”

2 tn Heb “to build a house for my name to be there.” Here “name” is used by metonymy for the Lord himself, and thus the expression “to be there” refers to his taking up residence there (hence the translation, “a temple in which to live”). In this case the temple is referred to as a “house” where the Lord himself can reside.

3 tn Heb “and his priests and the trumpets of the war alarm [are ready] to sound out against you.”

4 tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 18).

5 tn Heb “and look, Amariah the chief priest is over you with respect to every matter of the Lord, and Zebadiah…with respect to every matter of the king.”

6 tn Heb “Be strong and act!”
