2 Chronicles 32:12
32:12 Hezekiah is the one who eliminated 3 the Lord’s 4 high places and altars and then told Judah and Jerusalem, “At one altar you must worship and offer sacrifices.”
1 tn Or “tore down.”
2 tn Or “images.”
3 tnHeb “Did not he, Hezekiah, eliminate…?” This rhetorical question presupposes a positive reply (“yes, he did”) and so has been translated here as a positive statement.
4 tnHeb “his”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
