2 Chronicles 6:16

6:16 Now, O Lord God of Israel, keep the promise you made to your servant, my father David, when you said, ‘You will never fail to have a successor ruling before me on the throne of Israel, ¹  provided that your descendants watch their step and obey my law as you have done.’ ² 

2 Chronicles 10:16

10:16 When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, the people answered the king, “We have no portion in David – no share in the son of Jesse! ³  Return to your homes, O Israel! ⁴  Now, look after your own dynasty, O David!” ⁵  So all Israel returned to their homes. ⁶ 

¹ tn Heb “there will not be cut off from you a man from before me sitting on the throne of Israel.”

² tn Heb “guard their way by walking in my law as you have walked before me.”

³ sn The people’s point seems to be that they have no familial relationship with David that brings them any benefits or places upon them any obligations. They are being treated like outsiders.

⁴ tn Heb “each one to your tents, Israel.” The word “return” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁵ tn Heb “Now see your house, David.”

⁶ tn Heb “went to their tents.”
