2 Kings 10:30

10:30 The Lord said to Jehu, “You have done well. You have accomplished my will and carried out my wishes with regard to Ahab’s dynasty. Therefore four generations of your descendants will rule over Israel.” ¹ 

2 Kings 21:16

21:16 Furthermore Manasseh killed so many innocent people, he stained Jerusalem with their blood from end to end, ²  in addition to encouraging Judah to sin by doing evil in the sight of the Lord. ³ 

¹ tn Heb “Because you have done well by doing what is proper in my eyes – according to all which was in my heart you have done to the house of Ahab – sons of four generations will sit for you on the throne of Israel.” In the Hebrew text the Lord’s statement is one long sentence (with a parenthesis). The translation above divides it into shorter sentences for stylistic reasons.

² tn Heb “and also Manasseh shed very much innocent blood, until he filled Jerusalem from mouth to mouth.”

³ tn Heb “apart from his sin which he caused Judah to commit, by doing what is evil in the eyes of the Lord.”
