2 Chronicles 34:9-12

34:9

Hilkiah <02518> [Hilkiah.]

gave <05414> [they delivered.]

Manasseh <04519> [Manasseh.]

<07725> [and they returned.]

Instead of {wyyashuvoo}, "and they returned," as the Keri has, we should, with the Kethiv, read {weyoshevey,} "and the inhabitants of;" a reading which is supported by many MSS,; printed editions, and all the versions, as well as necessity and common sense.

34:10

handed <03027> [in the hand.]

34:11

rafters <07136> [floor. or, rafter. the kings.]

34:12

faithfully <0530> [faithfully.]

skilled <0995> [all.]

skilled <0995> [skill.]

The verb skill is now obsolete: the meaning is, "every one who is skilful, {maiveen,} on instruments of music."
