2 Chronicles 7:10

Context
7:10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, Solomon 1  sent the people home. They left 2  happy and contented 3  because of the good the Lord had done for David, Solomon, and his people Israel.

2 Chronicles 18:5

Context
18:5 So the king of Israel assembled 400 prophets and asked them, “Should we attack Ramoth Gilead or not?” 4  They said, “Attack! God 5  will hand it over to the king.”

2 Chronicles 30:21

Context

30:21 The Israelites who were in Jerusalem observed the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great joy. The Levites and priests were praising the Lord every day with all their might. 6 

1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Solomon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn The words “they left” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

3 tn Heb “good of heart.”

4 tn Heb “Should we go against Ramoth Gilead for war or should I refrain?”

5 tn Though Jehoshaphat had requested an oracle from “the Lord” (יְהוָה, yÿhvah, “Yahweh”), the Israelite prophets stop short of actually using this name and substitute the title הָאֱלֹהִים (haelohim, “the God”). This ambiguity may explain in part Jehoshaphat’s hesitancy and caution (vv. 7-8). He seems to doubt that the 400 are genuine prophets of the Lord.

6 tn Heb “and they were praising the Lord day by day, the Levites and the priests with instruments of strength to the Lord.” The phrase בִּכְלֵי־עֹז (bikhley-oz, “with instruments of strength”) might refer to loud sounding musical instruments (NASB “with loud instruments”; NEB “with unrestrained fervour”). The present translation assumes an emendation to בְּכָל־עֹז (bÿkhol-oz, “with all strength”); see 1 Chr 13:8, as well as HALOT 805 s.v. I עֹז and BDB 739 s.v. עֹז).
