1 Chronicles 22:9

22:9 Look, you will have a son, who will be a peaceful man.¹ I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side.² Indeed, Solomon³ will be his name; I will give Israel peace and quiet during his reign.⁴

1 Chronicles 22:18

22:18 He told them,⁵ “The Lord your God is with you!⁶ He has made you secure on every side,⁷ for he handed over to me the inhabitants of the region⁸ and the region⁹ is subdued before the Lord and his people.

¹tn Heb “man of rest.”

²tn Heb “his enemies all around.”

³sn The name Solomon (שְׁלֹמֹה, shÿlomoh) sounds like (and may be derived from) the Hebrew word for “peace” (שָׁלוֹם, shalom).

⁴tn Heb “in his days.”

⁵tn The words “he told them” are added in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

⁶tn In the Hebrew text the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question, “Is not the Lord your God with you?” The question anticipates the response, “Of course he is!” Thus in the translation the positive statement “The Lord your God is with you!” has been used.

⁷tn Heb “and he gives rest to you all around.”

⁸tn Or “earth.”

⁹tn Or “earth.”
