2 Chronicles 7:14

7:14 if my people, who belong to me, humble themselves, pray, seek to please me, and repudiate their sinful practices, then I will respond from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

2 Chronicles 22:6

22:6 Joram returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he received from the Syrians in Ramah when he fought against King Hazael of Syria. Ahaziah son of King Jehoram of Judah went down to visit Joram son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he had been wounded.


tn Heb “over whom my name is called.” The Hebrew idiom “call the name over” indicates ownership. See 2 Sam 12:28.

tn Heb “seek my face,” where “my face” is figurative for God’s presence and acceptance.

tn Heb “and turn from their sinful ways.”

tn Heb “hear.”

sn Here the phrase heal their land means restore the damage done by the drought, locusts and plague mentioned in v. 13.

tn Heb “he”; the referent (Joram) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

tn Heb “which the Syrians inflicted [on] him.”

tc Most Hebrew mss read “Azariah.” A few Hebrew mss, the LXX, Vulgate, and Syriac read “Ahaziah” (cf. 2 Kgs 8:29).

tn Heb “because he was sick,” presumably referring to the wounds he received in the battle with the Syrians.
