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 24:11

24:11 Whenever the Levites brought the chest to the royal accountant and they saw there was a lot of silver, the royal scribe and the accountant of the high priest emptied the chest and then took it back to its place. They went through this routine every day and collected a large amount of silver.

2 Chronicles 25:18

25:18 King Joash of Israel sent this message back to King Amaziah of Judah, “A thorn bush in Lebanon sent this message to a cedar in Lebanon, ‘Give your daughter to my son as a wife.’ Then a wild animal of Lebanon came by and trampled down the thorn bush. ⁵ 

2 Chronicles 34:21

34:21 “Go, seek an oracle from ⁶  the Lord for me and those who remain in Israel and Judah. Find out about ⁷  the words of this scroll that has been discovered. For the Lord’s fury has been ignited against us, ⁸  because our ancestors ⁹  have not obeyed the word of the Lord by doing all that this scroll instructs!” ¹⁰ 

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 sn The thorn bush in the allegory is Judah. Amaziah’s success had deceived him into thinking he was on the same level as the major powers in the area (symbolized by the cedar). In reality he was not capable of withstanding an attack by a real military power such as Israel (symbolized by the wild animal).

⁷ tn Or “inquire of.”

⁸ tn Heb “concerning.”

⁹ tn Heb “for great is the anger of the Lord which has been ignited against us.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 32, 33).

¹¹ tn Heb “by doing according to all that is written on this scroll.”
