1 Chronicles 11:22

11:22 Benaiah son of Jehoiada was a brave warrior from Kabzeel who performed great exploits. He struck down the two sons of Ariel of Moab; ¹  he also went down and killed a lion inside a cistern on a snowy day.

1 Chronicles 21:15

21:15 God sent an angel ²  to ravage ³  Jerusalem. As he was doing so, ⁴  the Lord watched ⁵  and relented from ⁶  his judgment. ⁷  He told the angel who was destroying, “That’s enough! ⁸  Stop now!” ⁹ 

Now the Lord’s angel was standing near the threshing floor of Ornan ¹⁰  the Jebusite.

[11:22]  ¹ tc Heb “the two of Ariel, Moab.” The precise meaning of אֲרִיאֵל (’ari’el) is uncertain; some read “warrior.” The present translation assumes that the word is a proper name and that בְּנֵי (bÿney, “sons of”) has accidentally dropped from the text by homoioarcton (note the preceding שְׁנֵי, shÿney).

[21:15]  ² tn The parallel text of 2 Sam 24:15 reports that God sent a plague, while 24:16-17 attributes this to the instrumentality of an angel.

[21:15]  ³ tn Or “destroy.”

[21:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “while he was destroying.”

[21:15]  ⁵ tn Or “saw.”

[21:15]  ⁶ tn Or “was grieved because of.”

[21:15]  ⁷ tn Heb “concerning the calamity.”

[21:15]  ⁸ tn For this nuance of the Hebrew word רַב (rav), see BDB 913 s.v. 1.f.

[21:15]  ⁹ tn Heb “Now, drop your hand.”

[21:15]  ¹⁰ tn In the parallel text in 2 Sam 24:16 this individual is called אֲרַוְנָא (’aravna’, “Aravna”), traditionally “Araunah.” The form of the name found here also occurs in vv. 18-28.
