2 Chronicles 32:9

32:9 Afterward King Sennacherib of Assyria, while attacking Lachish with all his military might, sent his messengers ⁶  to Jerusalem. The message was for King Hezekiah of Judah and all the people of ⁷  Judah who were in Jerusalem. It read:

[32:2]  ¹ tn Heb “and his face was for war against Jerusalem.”

[32:10]  ² tn Heb “On what are you trusting that [you] are living during the siege in Jerusalem.”

[32:1]  ³ tn Heb “and he said to break into them for himself.”

[32:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “and from the hand of all.”

[32:22]  ⁵ tc The Hebrew text reads literally, “and he led him from all around.” However, the present translation assumes an emendation to וַיָּנַח לָהֶם מִסָּבִיב (vayyanakh lahem missaviv, “and he gave rest to them from all around”). See 2 Chr 15:15 and 20:30.

[32:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “servants.”

[32:9]  ⁶ tn Heb “all Judah.” The words “the people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” here by metonymy for the people of Judah.
