2 Kings 14:10

Context
14:10 You thoroughly defeated Edom 1  and it has gone to your head! 2  Gloat over your success, 3  but stay in your palace. Why bring calamity on yourself? Why bring down yourself and Judah along with you?” 4 

2 Kings 14:28

Context

14:28 The rest of the events of Jeroboam’s reign, including all his accomplishments, his military success in restoring Israelite control over Damascus and Hamath, are recorded in the scroll called the Annals of the Kings of Israel. 5 

1 tn Or “you have indeed defeated Edom.”

2 tn Heb “and your heart has lifted you up.”

3 tn Heb “be glorified.”

4 tn Heb “Why get involved in calamity and fall, you and Judah with you?”

5 tn Heb “As for the rest of the events of Jeroboam, and all which he did and his strength, [and] how he fought and how he restored Damascus and Hamath to Judah in Israel, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?” The phrase “to Judah” is probably not original; it may be a scribal addition by a Judahite scribe who was trying to link Jeroboam’s conquests with the earlier achievements of David and Solomon, who ruled in Judah. The Syriac Peshitta has simply “to Israel.” M. Cogan and H. Tadmor (II Kings [AB], 162) offer this proposal, but acknowledge that it is “highly speculative.”
