1 tn Heb “so they may know my service and the service of the kingdoms of the lands.”
2 tn Heb “and the terror of the Lord was upon all the kingdoms of the lands which were surrounding Judah.”
3 tn Heb “and the terror of God [or “a great terror”] was upon all the kingdoms of the lands.” It is uncertain if אֱלֹהִים (’elohim) should be understood as a proper name here (“God”), or taken in an idiomatic superlative sense.
4 tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 33).
5 tn Heb “are you not God in heaven?” The rhetorical question expects the answer “yes,” resulting in the positive statement “you are the God who lives in heaven” employed in the translation.
