2 Chronicles 20:6

20:6 He prayed: “O Lord God of our ancestors, ¹  you are the God who lives in heaven ²  and rules over all the kingdoms of the nations. You possess strength and power; no one can stand against you.

2 Chronicles 20:17

20:17 You will not fight in this battle. Take your positions, stand, and watch the Lord deliver you, ³  O Judah and Jerusalem. Don’t be afraid and don’t panic! ⁴  Tomorrow march out toward them; the Lord is with you!’”

[20:6]  ¹ tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 33).

[20:6]  ² tn Heb “are you not God in heaven?” The rhetorical question expects the answer “yes,” resulting in the positive statement “you are the God who lives in heaven” employed in the translation.

[20:17]  ³ tn Heb “the deliverance of the Lord with you.”

[20:17]  ⁴ tn Or perhaps “don’t get discouraged.”
