2 Chronicles 18:33
shot <04900> [a certain man.]
random <08537> [at a venture. Heb. in his simplicity.]
plates <01694> [between the, etc. Heb. between the joints and between the breast plate.]
The {shiryon,} in Syriac, {sheryono,} seems to have covered both the back and breast of the warrior, and was consequently not properly a breast-plate, but a coat of mail or corslet. The corslet was made of flax or of wool woven very thick, of ox-hide, of brass, or of iron. The metallic corslet consisted not of solid piece, but of scales, hooks, or rings, connected like the links of a chain, that the warrior might move with greater ease. It was between the joints of this harness that Ahab received his mortal wound.
wounded <02470> [wounded. Heb. made sick.]
2 Chronicles 23:14
Bring ... outside <03318> [Have her forth.]
The Vulgate has here, and in the parallel place, {Educite illam extra septa templi,} "Take her out beyond the precincts of the temple." These were walls erected in parallel lines, and forming an extensive range of buildings around the sacred edifice.
Put ...................... executed <0935 04191> [whoso followeth her.]
He who takes her part let him be instantly slain.
temple ..... Put ...................... executed ..... temple <04191 01004> [Slay her not.]
2 Chronicles 33:7
put .... image <06459 07760> [he set a carved image.]
The Targumist says, "He set up an image, the likeness of himself, in the house of the sanctuary." In the parallel passage it is, "a graven image of the grove," or rather, Asherah or Astarte. Manasseh, as Bp. Patrick observes, seems to have studied to find out what God had forbidden in his law, that he might practice it: a most prodigious change from the height of piety in his father's time, into the sink of impiety in this!
temple ............... temple <01004> [in the house.]
God's ..... God ... said <0559 0430> [God had said.]
<0977> [which I have.]
2 Chronicles 34:28
allow .... die <0622> [I will gather.]
peace <07965> [in peace.]
witness <05869> [neither.]
