2 Chronicles 23:17

23:17 All the people went and demolished ¹  the temple of Baal. They smashed its altars and idols. ²  They killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars.

2 Chronicles 32:12

32:12 Hezekiah is the one who eliminated ³  the Lord’s ⁴  high places and altars and then told Judah and Jerusalem, “At one altar you must worship and offer sacrifices.”

[23:17]  ¹ tn Or “tore down.”

[23:17]  ² tn Or “images.”

[32:12]  ³ tn Heb “Did not he, Hezekiah, eliminate…?” This rhetorical question presupposes a positive reply (“yes, he did”) and so has been translated here as a positive statement.

[32:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “his”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
