2 Chronicles 7:18

7:18 Then I will establish your dynasty, ¹  just as I promised your father David, ‘You will not fail to have a successor ruling over Israel.’ ² 

2 Chronicles 18:29

18:29 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and then enter ³  the battle; but you wear your royal attire.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and they entered the battle.

2 Chronicles 25:19

25:19 You defeated Edom ⁴  and it has gone to your head. ⁵  Gloat over your success, ⁶  but stay in your palace. Why bring calamity on yourself? Why bring down yourself and Judah along with you?” ⁷ 

2 Chronicles 34:26

34:26 Say this to the king of Judah, who sent you to seek an oracle from the Lord: “This is what the Lord God of Israel says concerning the words you have heard:

¹ tn Heb “I will establish the throne of your kingdom.”

² tn Heb “there will not be cut off from you a man ruling over Israel.”

³ tn The Hebrew verbal forms could be imperatives (“Disguise yourself and enter”), but this would make no sense in light of the immediately following context. The forms are better interpreted as infinitives absolute functioning as cohortatives (see IBHS 594 §35.5.2a). Some prefer to emend the forms to imperfects.

⁵ tn Heb “you say [to yourself], ‘look, you have defeated Edom.’”

⁶ tn Heb “and your heart is lifted up.”

⁷ tn Heb “to glorify.”

⁸ tn Heb “Why get involved in calamity and fall, you and Judah with you?”
