2 Chronicles 9:29

Solomon’s Reign Ends

9:29 The rest of the events of Solomon’s reign, from start to finish, are recorded ¹  in the Annals of Nathan the Prophet, the Prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and the Vision of Iddo the Seer pertaining to Jeroboam son of Nebat.

2 Chronicles 12:5

12:5 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

21:12 Jehoram ⁵  received this letter from Elijah the prophet: “This is what the Lord God of your ancestor David says: ‘You ⁶  have not followed in the footsteps ⁷  of your father Jehoshaphat and of ⁸  King Asa of Judah,

2 Chronicles 25:16

25:16 While he was speaking, Amaziah ⁹  said to him, “Did we appoint you to be a royal counselor?

2 Chronicles 35:18

35:18 A Passover like this had not been observed in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet. None of the kings of Israel had observed a Passover like the one celebrated by Josiah, the priests, the Levites, all the people of Judah and Israel who were there, and the residents of Jerusalem.

[9:29]  ¹ tn Heb “As for the rest of the events of Solomon, the former and the latter, are they not written?”

[12:5]  ² tn Heb “also I have rejected you into the hand of Shishak.”

[15:8]  ³ tn Heb “strengthened himself.”

[15:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “the porch of the Lord.”

[21:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jehoram) has been specified in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[21:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “Because you…” In the Hebrew text this lengthy sentence is completed in vv. 14-15. Because of its length and complexity (and the tendency of contemporary English to use shorter sentences), the translation has divided it up into several English sentences.

[21:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “walked in the ways.”

[21:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “in the ways of.”

[25:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Amaziah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[25:16]  ⁶ tn Heb “Stop yourself! Why should they strike you down?”

[25:16]  ⁷ tn The verb יָעַץ (ya’ats, “has decided”) is from the same root as יוֹעֵץ (yo’ets, “counselor”) in v. 16 and עֵצָה (’etsah, “advice”) later in v. 16. The wordplay highlights the appropriate nature of the divine punishment. Amaziah rejected the counsel of God’s prophet; now he would be the victim of God’s “counsel.”

[29:25]  ⁶ tn Heb “he”; the referent (King Hezekiah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[29:25]  ⁷ tn Or “seer.”
