2 Chronicles 12:5

12:5 Shemaiah the prophet visited Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah who were assembled in Jerusalem because of Shishak. He said to them, “This is what the Lord says: ‘You have rejected me, so I have rejected you and will hand you over to Shishak.’” ¹ 

2 Chronicles 20:15

20:15 He said: “Pay attention, all you people of Judah, ²  residents of Jerusalem, and King Jehoshaphat! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Don’t be afraid and don’t panic ³  because of this huge army! For the battle is not yours, but God’s.

[12:5]  ¹ tn Heb “also I have rejected you into the hand of Shishak.”

[20:15]  ² tn Heb “all Judah.” The words “you people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” by metonymy for the people of Judah. Unlike the previous instance in v. 13 where infants, wives, and children are mentioned separately, this reference appears to include them all.

[20:15]  ³ tn Or perhaps “don’t get discouraged.”
