2 Chronicles 36:10

¹ tn Heb “came up against him.”

² tn Heb “to carry him away.”

³ tn Or “temple.”

⁴ tn Heb “in Babylon.” Repeating the proper name “Babylon” here would be redundant in contemporary English, so “there” has been used in the translation.

⁵ tn Heb “and when the envoys of the officials of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire concerning the sign which was in the land, [arrived].”

⁶ tn Heb “to know all [that was] in his heart.”

⁷ tn Heb “and they seized him with hooks.”

⁹ tn Heb “sent and brought him.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “and he made Zedekiah his brother king.” According to the parallel text in 2 Kgs 24:17, Zedekiah was Jehoiachin’s uncle, not his brother. Therefore many interpreters understand אח here in its less specific sense of “relative” (NEB “made his father’s brother Zedekiah king”; NASB “made his kinsman Zedekiah king”; NIV “made Jehoiachin’s uncle, Zedekiah, king”; NRSV “made his brother Zedekiah king”).
