2 Chronicles 7:6

Context
7:6 The priests stood in their assigned spots, along with the Levites who had the musical instruments used for praising the Lord. 1  (These were the ones King David made for giving thanks to the Lord and which were used by David when he offered praise, saying, “Certainly his loyal love endures.”) 2  Opposite the Levites, 3  the priests were blowing the trumpets, while all Israel stood there.

2 Chronicles 10:14

Context
10:14 and followed the advice of the younger ones. He said, “My father imposed heavy demands on you; 4  I will make them even heavier. 5  My father punished you with ordinary whips; I will punish you with whips that really sting your flesh.” 6 

1 tn Heb “and the priests were standing at their posts, and the Levites with the instruments of music of the Lord.”

2 tn Heb “which David the king made to give thanks to the Lord, for lasting is his loyal love, when David praised by them.”

3 tn Heb “opposite them”; the referent (the Levites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

4 tc The Hebrew text reads, “I will make heavy your yoke,” but many medieval Hebrew mss and other ancient textual witnesses have, “my father made heavy your yoke.”

5 tn Heb “but I will add to your yoke.”

6 tn Heb “My father punished you with whips, but I [will punish you] with scorpions.” “Scorpions” might allude to some type of torture, but more likely it refers to a type of whip that inflicts an especially biting, painful wound.
