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 22:9

Context
22:9 He looked for Ahaziah, who was captured while hiding in Samaria. 4  They brought him to Jehu and then executed him. They did give him a burial, for they reasoned, 5  “He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the Lord with his whole heart.” There was no one in Ahaziah’s family strong enough to rule in his place. 6 

2 Chronicles 25:16

Context
25:16 While he was speaking, Amaziah 7  said to him, “Did we appoint you to be a royal counselor? Stop prophesying or else you will be killed!” 8  So the prophet stopped, but added, “I know that the Lord has decided 9  to destroy you, because you have done this thing and refused to listen to my advice.”

2 Chronicles 26:19

Context
26:19 Uzziah, who had an incense censer in his hand, became angry. While he was ranting and raving 10  at the priests, a skin disease 11  appeared on his forehead right there in front of the priests in the Lord’s temple near the incense altar.

2 Chronicles 34:3

Context

34:3 In the eighth year of his reign, while he was still young, he began to seek the God of his ancestor 12  David. In his twelfth year he began ridding 13  Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, Asherah poles, idols, and images.

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 map For location see Map2 B1; Map4 D3; Map5 E2; Map6 A4; Map7 C1.

5 tn Heb “they said.”

6 tn Heb “and there was no one belonging to the house of Ahaziah to retain strength for kingship.”

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

8 tn Heb “Stop yourself! Why should they strike you down?”

9 tn The verb יָעַץ (yaats, “has decided”) is from the same root as יוֹעֵץ (yoets, “counselor”) in v. 16 and עֵצָה (’etsah, “advice”) later in v. 16. The wordplay highlights the appropriate nature of the divine punishment. Amaziah rejected the counsel of God’s prophet; now he would be the victim of God’s “counsel.”

10 tn Heb “angry.”

11 tn Traditionally “leprosy,” but this was probably a skin disorder of some type, not leprosy (technically known today as Hansen’s disease). See 2 Kgs 5:1.

12 tn Heb “father.”

13 tn Heb “purifying.”
