Nehemiah 2:19-20

2:19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official, and Geshem the Arab heard all this, ⁶  they derided us and expressed contempt toward us. They said, “What is this you are doing? Are you rebelling against the king?” 2:20 I responded to them by saying, “The God of heaven will prosper us. We his servants will start the rebuilding. ⁷  But you have no just or ancient right in Jerusalem.” ⁸ 

Jeremiah 52:3

52:3 What follows is a record of what happened to Jerusalem and Judah because of the Lord’s anger when he drove them out of his sight. ⁹  Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

Ezekiel 17:15

¹ tn Heb “in all which he went out [to do], he was successful.”

² tn Heb “and did not serve him.”

³ tn Heb “In his days.”

⁴ tn Heb “came up.” Perhaps an object (“against him”) has been accidentally omitted from the text. See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 306.

⁵ tn The Hebrew text has “and he turned and rebelled against him.”

⁶ tn The Hebrew text does not include the words “all this,” but they have been added in the translation for clarity.

⁷ tn Heb “will arise and build.” The idiom “arise and…” means to begin the action described by the second verb.

⁸ tn Heb “portion or right or remembrance.” The expression is probably a hendiatris: The first two nouns retain their full nominal function, while the third noun functions adjectivally (“right or remembrance” = “ancient right”).

⁹ tn Heb “Surely (or “for”) because of the anger of the Lord this happened in Jerusalem and Judah until he drove them out from upon his face.” For the phrase “drive out of his sight,” see 7:15.

¹⁰ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the member of the royal family, v. 13) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹¹ tn Heb “him”; the referent (the king of Babylon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
