Context
Hezekiah’s Shortcomings and Accomplishments

2 Chronicles 33:13

Context
33:13 When he prayed to the Lord, 7  the Lord 8  responded to him 9  and answered favorably 10  his cry for mercy. The Lord 11  brought him back to Jerusalem to his kingdom. Then Manasseh realized that the Lord is the true God.

1 tn Heb “I have heard.”

2 tn Heb “temple of sacrifice.” This means the Lord designated the temple as the place for making sacrifices, and this has been clarified in the translation.

3 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Micaiah) has been specified in the translation both for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

4 sn One does not expect Micaiah, having just vowed to speak only what the Lord tells him, to agree with the other prophets and give the king an inaccurate prophecy. Micaiah’s actions became understandable later, when we discover that the Lord desires to deceive the king and lead him to his demise. The Lord even dispatches a lying spirit to deceive Ahab’s prophets. Micaiah can lie to the king because he realizes this lie is from the Lord. It is important to note that in v. 13 Micaiah only vows to speak the word of his God; he does not necessarily say he will tell the truth. In this case the Lord’s word is deliberately deceptive. Only when the king adjures him to tell the truth (v. 15), does Micaiah do so.

5 tn Heb “was sick to the point of dying.”

6 tn Heb “and he spoke to him and a sign he gave to him.”

7 tn Heb “him”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

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

9 tn Heb “was entreated by him,” or “allowed himself to be entreated by him.”

10 tn Heb “heard.”

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