1 Chronicles 22:18

22:18 He told them, ⁴  “The Lord your God is with you! ⁵  He has made you secure on every side, ⁶  for he handed over to me the inhabitants of the region ⁷  and the region ⁸  is subdued before the Lord and his people.

[12:8]  ¹ tn Heb “warriors, men of battle for war, prepared with shield and spear, and [like] the face of a lion were their faces, and like gazelles on the hills to hurry.”

[19:16]  ² tn Heb “the River,” referring to the Euphrates. This has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:16]  ³ tn Heb “and Aram saw that they were struck down before Israel and they sent messengers and brought out Aram which is beyond the River, and Shophach the commander of the army of Hadadezer [was] before them.”

[22:18]  ³ tn The words “he told them” are added in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[22:18]  ⁴ tn In the Hebrew text the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question, “Is not the Lord your God with you?” The question anticipates the response, “Of course he is!” Thus in the translation the positive statement “The Lord your God is with you!” has been used.

[22:18]  ⁵ tn Heb “and he gives rest to you all around.”

[22:18]  ⁶ tn Or “earth.”

[22:18]  ⁷ tn Or “earth.”
