2 Chronicles 10:16

10:16 When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, the people answered the king, “We have no portion in David – no share in the son of Jesse! ¹  Return to your homes, O Israel! ²  Now, look after your own dynasty, O David!” ³  So all Israel returned to their homes. ⁴ 

2 Chronicles 35:21

35:21 Necho ⁵  sent messengers to him, saying, “Why are you opposing me, O king of Judah? ⁶  I am not attacking you today, but the kingdom with which I am at war. ⁷  God told me to hurry. Stop opposing God, who is with me, or else he will destroy you.” ⁸ 

¹ sn The people’s point seems to be that they have no familial relationship with David that brings them any benefits or places upon them any obligations. They are being treated like outsiders.

² tn Heb “each one to your tents, Israel.” The word “return” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

³ tn Heb “Now see your house, David.”

⁴ tn Heb “went to their tents.”

⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Neco) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁶ tn Heb “What to me and to you, king of Judah?”

⁷ tn Heb “Not against you, you, today, but against the house of my battle.”

⁸ tn Heb “Stop yourself from [opposing] God who is with me and let him not destroy you.”
