2 Chronicles 32:11

32:11 Hezekiah says, “The Lord our God will rescue us from the power ¹  of the king of Assyria.” But he is misleading you and you will die of hunger and thirst! ² 

2 Chronicles 6:28

6:28 “The time will come when the land suffers from a famine, a plague, blight, and disease, or a locust ³  invasion, or when their enemy lays siege to the cities of the land, ⁴  or when some other type of plague or epidemic occurs.

2 Chronicles 20:9

20:9 ‘If disaster comes on us in the form of military attack, ⁵  judgment, plague, or famine, we will stand in front of this temple before you, for you are present in this temple. ⁶  We will cry out to you for help in our distress, so that you will ⁷  hear and deliver us.’

[32:11]  ¹ tn Heb “hand.”

[32:11]  ² tn Heb “Is not Hezekiah misleading you to give you over to die by hunger and thirst, saying, ‘The Lord our God will rescue us from the hand of the king of Assyria’?’

[6:28]  ³ tn Actually two Hebrew words appear here, both of which are usually (but not always) taken as referring to locusts. Perhaps different stages of growth or different varieties are in view, but this is uncertain. NEB has “locusts new-sloughed or fully grown”; NASB has “locust or grasshopper”; NIV has “locusts or grasshoppers”; NRSV has “locust, or caterpillar.”

[6:28]  ⁴ tn Heb “in the land, his gates.”

[20:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “sword.”

[20:9]  ⁶ tn Heb “for your name is in this house.” The “name” of the Lord sometimes designates the Lord himself, being indistinguishable from the proper name. In this case the temple is referred to as a “house” where the Lord himself can reside.

[20:9]  ⁷ tn Or “so that you may.”
