2 Chronicles 22:4-5
22:4 He did evil in the sight of
1 the
Lord like Ahab’s dynasty because, after his father’s death, they
2 gave him advice that led to his destruction.
22:5 He followed their advice and joined Ahab’s son King Joram
3 of Israel in a battle against King Hazael of Syria
4 at Ramoth Gilead in which the Syrians defeated Joram.
Proverbs 12:5
12:5 The plans 5 of the righteous are just;
the counsels of the wicked are deceitful. 6
Daniel 6:7
6:7 To all the supervisors of the kingdom, the prefects, satraps, counselors, and governors it seemed like a good idea for a royal edict to be issued and an interdict to be enforced. For the next thirty days anyone who prays
7 to any god or human other than you, O king, should be thrown into a den of lions.
1 tn Heb “in the eyes of.”
2 tn That is, the members of Ahab’s royal house.
3 sn Jehoram and Joram are alternate spellings of the Israelite king’s name (also in vv. 6-7). The shorter form is used in these verse to avoid confusion with King Jehoram of Judah, father of Azariah.
4 tn Heb “Aram” (also in v. 6).
5 tn Heb “thoughts.” This term refers not just to random thoughts, however, but to what is planned or devised.
6 sn The plans of good people are directed toward what is right. Advice from the wicked, however, is deceitful and can only lead to trouble.
7 tn Aram “prays a prayer.”
