1 Chronicles 21:27

21:27 The Lord ordered the messenger ¹  to put his sword back into its sheath.

Ezekiel 21:30

21:30 Return it to its sheath! ² 

In the place where you were created, ³ 

in your native land, I will judge you.

John 18:11

18:11 But Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword back into its sheath! Am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me?” ⁴ 

[21:27]  ¹ tn Heb “spoke to the messenger.”

[21:30]  ² sn Once the Babylonian king’s sword (vv. 19-20) has carried out its assigned task, the Lord commands it to halt and announces that Babylon itself will also experience his judgment. See L. C. Allen, Ezekiel (WBC), 2:28.

[21:30]  ³ tn In the Hebrew text of vv. 30-32 the second person verbal and pronominal forms are feminine singular. This may indicate that the personified Babylonian sword is being addressed. The Hebrew word for “sword” (see v. 28) is feminine. However, it may refer to the Ammonites.

[18:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “The cup that the Father has given me to drink, shall I not drink it?” The order of the clauses has been rearranged to reflect contemporary English style.
