2 Chronicles 6:32

2 Chronicles 32:11

32:11 Hezekiah says, “The Lord our God will rescue us from the power ⁶  of the king of Assyria.” But he is misleading you and you will die of hunger and thirst! ⁷ 

[6:30]  ¹ tn The words “their sin” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied for clarification.

[6:30]  ² tn Heb “and act and give to each one according to all his ways because you know his heart.” In the Hebrew text vv. 28-30a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided up for stylistic reasons.

[6:30]  ³ tn Heb “Indeed you know, you alone, the heart of all the sons of mankind.”

[6:32]  ⁴ tn Heb “your great name.” The word “name” sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor (thus the translation here, “your great reputation”).

[6:32]  ⁵ tn Heb “and your strong hand and your outstretched arm.”

[32:11]  ⁷ tn Heb “hand.”

[32:11]  ⁸ tn Heb “Is not Hezekiah misleading you to give you over to die by hunger and thirst, saying, ‘The Lord our God will rescue us from the hand of the king of Assyria’?’
