2 Chronicles 32:15

32:15 Now don’t let Hezekiah deceive you or mislead you like this. Don’t believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to rescue his people from my power or the power of my predecessors. So how ¹  can your gods rescue ²  you from my power?’”

2 Chronicles 35:21

35:21 Necho ³  sent messengers to him, saying, “Why are you opposing me, O king of Judah? ⁴  I am not attacking you today, but the kingdom with which I am at war. ⁵  God told me to hurry. Stop opposing God, who is with me, or else he will destroy you.” ⁶ 

[32:15]  ¹ tn Heb “how much less.”

[32:15]  ² tn The verb is plural, suggesting that the preceding אֱלֹהֵיכֶם (’elohekhem) be translated “your gods,” rather than “your God.”

[35:21]  ³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Neco) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[35:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “What to me and to you, king of Judah?”

[35:21]  ⁵ tn Heb “Not against you, you, today, but against the house of my battle.”

[35:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “Stop yourself from [opposing] God who is with me and let him not destroy you.”
