2 Chronicles 6:18
Context6:18 “God does not really live with humankind on the earth! 1 Look, if the sky and the highest heaven cannot contain you, how much less this temple I have built!
2 Chronicles 12:5
Context12:5 Shemaiah the prophet visited Rehoboam and the leaders of Judah who were assembled in Jerusalem because of Shishak. He said to them, “This is what the Lord says: ‘You have rejected me, so I have rejected you and will hand you over to Shishak.’” 2


[6:18] 1 tn Heb “Indeed, can God really live with mankind on the earth?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “Of course not,” the force of which is reflected in the translation “God does not really live with mankind on the earth.”
[12:5] 2 tn Heb “also I have rejected you into the hand of Shishak.”
