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 7:7

7:7 Solomon consecrated the middle of the courtyard that is in front of the Lord’s temple. He offered burnt sacrifices, grain offerings, ³  and the fat from the peace offerings there, because the bronze altar that Solomon had made was too small to hold all these offerings. ⁴ 

2 Chronicles 12:13

12:13 King Rehoboam solidified his rule in Jerusalem; ⁵  he ⁶  was forty-one years old when he became king and he ruled for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the Lord chose from all the tribes of Israel to be his home. ⁷  Rehoboam’s ⁸  mother was an Ammonite named Naamah.

2 Chronicles 18:7

18:7 The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man through whom we can seek the Lord’s will. ⁹  But I despise ¹⁰  him because he does not prophesy prosperity for me, but always ¹¹  disaster. His name is Micaiah son of Imlah. ¹²  Jehoshaphat said, “The king should not say such things!”

2 Chronicles 35:3

35:3 He told the Levites, who instructed all Israel about things consecrated to the Lord, “Place the holy ark in the temple which King Solomon son of David of Israel built. Don’t carry it on your shoulders. Now serve the Lord your God and his people Israel!

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 tc The Hebrew text omits reference to the grain offerings at this point, but note that they are included both in the list in the second half of the verse (see note on “offerings” at the end of this verse) and in the parallel account in 1 Kgs 8:64. The construction וְאֶת־הַמִּנְחָה (vÿ’et-hamminkhah; vav [ו] + accusative sign + noun with article; “grain offerings”) was probably omitted accidentally by homoioarcton. Note the וְאֶת (vÿ’et) that immediately follows.

⁴ tn Heb “to hold the burnt sacrifices, grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.” Because this is redundant, the translation employs a summary phrase: “all these offerings.”

⁵ tn Heb “and the king, Rehoboam, strengthened himself in Jerusalem and ruled.”

⁶ tn Heb “Rehoboam.” The recurrence of the proper name here is redundant in terms of contemporary English style, so the pronoun has been used in the translation instead.

⁷ tn Heb “the city where the Lord chose to place his name from all the tribes of Israel.”

⁸ tn Heb “his”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁷ tn Heb “to seek the Lord from him.”

⁸ tn Or “hate.”

⁹ tn Heb “all his days.”

¹⁰ tn The words “his name is” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
