2 Chronicles 6:40-42

6:40 “Now, my God, may you be attentive and responsive to the prayers offered in this place. ¹  6:41 Now ascend, O Lord God, to your resting place, you and the ark of your strength! May your priests, O Lord God, experience your deliverance! ²  May your loyal followers rejoice in the prosperity you give! ³  6:42 O Lord God, do not reject your chosen ones! ⁴  Remember the faithful promises you made to your servant David!”

[6:40]  ¹ tn Heb “May your eyes be open and your ears attentive to the prayer of this place.”

[6:41]  ² tn Heb “be clothed with deliverance.”

[6:41]  ³ tn Heb “and may your loyal ones rejoice in good.”

[6:42]  ³ tc Heb “do not turn away the face of your anointed ones.” Many medieval Hebrew mss, as well as the ancient versions, read the singular, “your anointed,” which would probably refer to Solomon specifically, rather than the people.
