2 Chronicles 32:22

32:22 The Lord delivered Hezekiah and the residents of Jerusalem from the power of King Sennacherib of Assyria and from all the other nations. ¹  He made them secure on every side. ² 

2 Chronicles 20:9

20:9 ‘If disaster comes on us in the form of military attack, ³  judgment, plague, or famine, we will stand in front of this temple before you, for you are present in this temple. ⁴  We will cry out to you for help in our distress, so that you will ⁵  hear and deliver us.’

[32:22]  ¹ tn Heb “and from the hand of all.”

[32:22]  ² 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.

[20:9]  ³ tn Heb “sword.”

[20:9]  ⁴ 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]  ⁵ tn Or “so that you may.”
