2 Chronicles 20:2

2 Chronicles 25:19

25:19 You defeated Edom ⁴  and it has gone to your head. ⁵  Gloat over your success, ⁶  but stay in your palace. Why bring calamity on yourself? Why bring down yourself and Judah along with you?” ⁷ 

¹ tn Heb “they”; the implied referent (messengers) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

² tn Heb “the Sea”; in context (“from the direction of Edom”) this must refer to the Dead Sea, which has been specified in the translation for clarity (cf. NEB, NLT).

³ tc Most Hebrew mss read “from Aram” (i.e., Syria), but this must be a corruption of “Edom,” which is the reading of the LXX and Vulgate.

¹ tn Heb “you say [to yourself], ‘look, you have defeated Edom.’”

² tn Heb “and your heart is lifted up.”

³ tn Heb “to glorify.”

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