1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles
Version 0.35.76, 26 August 2024
We offer a freely copyable translation of the Old Testament / Tanakh based on the Masoretic Text. The translation follows the Masoretic Text, ketiv or qeré (which will be indicated), and vowels (but we retain freedom regarding word grouping), except that the changes made by the Sopherim are reversed (see Companion Bible Appendices 32 and 33). Textual and explanatory remarks may be made in the notes. Our translation may be freely copied (see copyright notices below).
There are three areas of copyright to consider: the copyright of sources used, the copyright of fonts used, and the copyright of our own work.
The Hebrew / Aramaic text as starting material is the Westminster Leningrad Codex [4.18], obtained from www.tanach.us/TextFiles.
The license, as of 1 June 2011, at www.tanach.us/License.html reads: “All files in the main directory, except Tanach.zip, and all files in the following subdirectories may be used without restriction.” We have used the text files from www.tanach.us/TextFiles/, one of the subdirectories referred to as able to be used without restriction.
We remark that, according to tanach.us/Tanach.xml#Home, the files are derived “from the electronic version of the Leningrad Codex maintained by the J. Alan Groves Center for Advanced Biblical Research” who have written to us that they “make no claim on the use of the WLC”.
We nevertheless suggest that commercial publishers wishing to publish our combined Hebrew and English documents should verify the copyright position of the Hebrew text for themselves.
The Hebrew text renders most accurately in SBL Hebrew, which is free for personal use. Commercial publishers must consult the copyright holder. The text renders reasonably in Times New Roman. In any case, commercial publishers must check and comply with font copyright issues.

|| Gen 36:37 (Gen MT, 1 Chr MT AV = Shaul).
Saul ← Shaul, or better Sha'ul, as for the first king of the united kingdom of Israel (1 Sam 9:2), but we regularize this name for other personages. AV= Shaul here, but Saul in Gen 36:37. |

| 1 Chr 1:51 | וַיָּ֖מָת הֲדָ֑ד ס וַיִּהְיוּ֙ אַלּוּפֵ֣י אֱד֔וֹם אַלּ֥וּף תִּמְנָ֛ע אַלּ֥וּף *עליה **עַֽלְוָ֖ה אַלּ֥וּף יְתֵֽת׃ | Then Hadad died, and there arose chieftains of Edom: Chieftain Timna, Chieftain {Q: Alvah} [K: Aliah], Chieftain Jetheth, |

And the sons of Shemaiah were Hattush and Igeal and Bariah and Neariah and Shaphat – six of them. | and his line: this verse, with its count of six, shows that the expression sons of can include the next generation as well. See also 1 Chr 7:3. |

Kenaz ← and Kenaz, perhaps meaning including Kenaz.

And those were the sons of Bithiah, Pharaoh's daughter, whom Mered took. |
Jehudijah ← the Jehudijah, = the Jewess. [CB] proposes that Jehudijah is Bithiah, who became a Jewess.
Jered: in Gen 5:15 etc. the AV uses Jared, which we keep to in 1 Chr 1:2, but we adopt AV's Jered here. Sochoh: AV= Socho here, ↴ |
| 1 Chr 4:19 | וּבְנֵי֙ אֵ֣שֶׁת הֽוֹדִיָּ֔ה אֲח֣וֹת נַ֔חַם אֲבִ֥י קְעִילָ֖ה הַגַּרְמִ֑י וְאֶשְׁתְּמֹ֖עַ הַמַּעֲכָתִֽי׃ | And the sons of the wife of Hodijah, the sister of Naham, were the father of Keilah the Garmite, and Eshtemoa the Maachathite. |

Netaim and Gederah: AV differs, translating (plants and hedges), but not in Josh 15:36; [CB] regards as place names. The meaning is plantings and hedging.
accompanied ← (were) with. |

Zaccur: AV= Zacchur, but we show the hard kaph (closed syllable) as AV sometimes does elsewhere.
Shimei: see Ex 6:17. |
| 1 Chr 4:27 | וּלְשִׁמְעִ֞י בָּנִ֨ים שִׁשָּׁ֤ה עָשָׂר֙ וּבָנ֣וֹת שֵׁ֔שׁ וּלְאֶחָ֕יו אֵ֖ין בָּנִ֣ים רַבִּ֑ים וְכֹל֙ מִשְׁפַּחְתָּ֔ם לֹ֥א הִרְבּ֖וּ עַד־בְּנֵ֥י יְהוּדָֽה׃ ס | And Shimei had sixteen sons and six daughters, but his brothers did not have many sons, and their family as a whole did not multiply to the extent the sons of Judah did. | |

rich ← fat.
wide on both sides ← wide of hands. |
| 1 Chr 4:41 | וַיָּבֹ֡אוּ אֵלֶּה֩ הַכְּתוּבִ֨ים בְּשֵׁמ֜וֹת בִּימֵ֣י ׀ יְחִזְקִיָּ֣הוּ מֶֽלֶךְ־יְהוּדָ֗ה וַיַּכּ֨וּ אֶת־אָהֳלֵיהֶ֜ם וְאֶת־*המעינים **הַמְּעוּנִ֨ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר נִמְצְאוּ־שָׁ֙מָּה֙ וַיַּחֲרִימֻם֙ עַד־הַיּ֣וֹם הַזֶּ֔ה וַיֵּשְׁב֖וּ תַּחְתֵּיהֶ֑ם כִּֽי־מִרְעֶ֥ה לְצֹאנָ֖ם שָֽׁם׃ | And those who were registered by their names in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah came and attacked their tents and the dwelling places which were found there, and they obliterated them, as they are up to this day.

dwelling places: the ketiv has to be regarded as a variant form of the qeré. [CB] regards this as a proper name (Meunim), as in 2 Chr 26:7, but the combination with tents militates against this.
registered ← written. |

This chapter corresponds very roughly to Nehemiah 11. We show parallel verses where some of the parallelism is evident.

The qeré is surprising, because 2 Sam 5:11 and 1 Kings have Hiram, the ketiv here. But in Chronicles, he is mainly Huram.
|| 2 Sam 5:11. wall masons ← artificers of walls. |
| 1 Chr 14:2 | וַיֵּ֣דַע דָּוִ֔יד כִּֽי־הֱכִינ֧וֹ יְהוָ֛ה לְמֶ֖לֶךְ עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל כִּֽי־נִשֵּׂ֤את לְמַ֙עְלָה֙ מַלְכוּת֔וֹ בַּעֲב֖וּר עַמּ֥וֹ יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ פ | And David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel, because his kingdom was highly exalted, for the sake of his people Israel. |
|| 2 Sam 5:12.
highly exalted ← exalted upwards. |
| 1 Chr 14:3 | וַיִּקַּ֨ח דָּוִ֥יד ע֛וֹד נָשִׁ֖ים בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וַיּ֧וֹלֶד דָּוִ֛יד ע֖וֹד בָּנִ֥ים וּבָנֽוֹת׃ | And David took some more wives in Jerusalem, and David begot more sons and daughters. | || 2 Sam 5:13. |
| 1 Chr 14:4 | וְאֵ֙לֶּה֙ שְׁמ֣וֹת הַיְלוּדִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָיוּ־ל֖וֹ בִּירוּשָׁלִָ֑ם שַׁמּ֣וּעַ וְשׁוֹבָ֔ב נָתָ֖ן וּשְׁלֹמֹֽה׃ | And these are the names of those born, whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon, | || 2 Sam 5:14, 1 Chr 3:5. |
| 1 Chr 14:5 | וְיִבְחָ֥ר וֶאֱלִישׁ֖וּעַ וְאֶלְפָּֽלֶט׃ | and Ibhar and Elishua and Elpelet, |
|| 2 Sam 5:15, 1 Chr 3:6.
Elpelet: AV= Elpalet, the pausal form. See Gen 4:2. |
| 1 Chr 14:6 | וְנֹ֥גַהּ וְנֶ֖פֶג וְיָפִֽיעַ׃ | and Nogah and Nepheg and Japhia, | || 2 Sam 5:15, 1 Chr 3:7. |
| 1 Chr 14:7 | וֶאֱלִישָׁמָ֥ע וּבְעֶלְיָדָ֖ע וֶאֱלִיפָֽלֶט׃ | and Elishama and Beeliada and Eliphelet. |
|| 2 Sam 5:16, 1 Chr 3:8.
Eliphelet: AV= Eliphalet, the pausal form, here and 2 Sam 5:16, but elsewhere Eliphelet. See Gen 4:2. |
| 1 Chr 14:8 | וַיִּשְׁמְע֣וּ פְלִשְׁתִּ֗ים כִּי־נִמְשַׁ֨ח דָּוִ֤יד לְמֶ֙לֶךְ֙ עַל־כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וַיַּעֲל֥וּ כָל־פְּלִשְׁתִּ֖ים לְבַקֵּ֣שׁ אֶת־דָּוִ֑יד וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע דָּוִ֔יד וַיֵּצֵ֖א לִפְנֵיהֶֽם׃ | And when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David, but David heard about it, and he went out to confront them. |
|| 2 Sam 5:17.
to seek: here in a hostile sense, as in 1 Sam 26:2. to confront them ← before them. |
| 1 Chr 14:9 | וּפְלִשְׁתִּ֖ים בָּ֑אוּ וַֽיִּפְשְׁט֖וּ בְּעֵ֥מֶק רְפָאִֽים׃ | And the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the Valley of the Rephaim. |
|| 2 Sam 5:18.
Rephaim: see [CB] App. 25. |
| 1 Chr 14:10 | וַיִּשְׁאַ֨ל דָּוִ֤יד בֵּאלֹהִים֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר הַאֶֽעֱלֶה֙ עַל־*פלשתיים **פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים וּנְתַתָּ֖ם בְּיָדִ֑י וַיֹּ֨אמֶר ל֤וֹ יְהוָה֙ עֲלֵ֔ה וּנְתַתִּ֖ים בְּיָדֶֽךָ׃ | And David asked God* and said, “Should I go up against the Philistines, and will you deliver them into my hand?” And the Lord said to him, “Go up, and I will deliver them into your hand.” |
God*: [CB] App. 32, citing Ginsburg, alleges a change by the Sopherim from יהוה, Yhvh, to אֱלֺהִים, Elohim, but this is only an inference, and we do not reverse it.
Philistines: the ketiv and qeré are different spellings of the same word. || 2 Sam 5:19. |
| 1 Chr 14:11 | וַיַּעֲל֥וּ בְּבַֽעַל־פְּרָצִים֮ וַיַּכֵּ֣ם שָׁ֣ם דָּוִיד֒ וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִ֔יד פָּרַ֨ץ הָֽאֱלֹהִ֧ים אֶת־אוֹיְבַ֛י בְּיָדִ֖י כְּפֶ֣רֶץ מָ֑יִם עַל־כֵּ֗ן קָֽרְא֛וּ שֵֽׁם־הַמָּק֥וֹם הַה֖וּא בַּ֥עַל פְּרָצִֽים׃ | So they went up to Baal-Perazim, and David struck them there. And David said, “God* has dispersed my enemies by means of myself, like an outpouring of water”, which is why they called that place Baal-Perazim. |
God*: [CB] App. 32, citing Ginsburg, alleges a change by the Sopherim from יהוה, Yhvh, to אֱלֺהִים, Elohim, but this is only an inference, and we do not reverse it.
|| 2 Sam 5:20. by means of myself ← by my hand. |
| 1 Chr 14:12 | וַיַּעַזְבוּ־שָׁ֖ם אֶת־אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶ֑ם וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִ֔יד וַיִּשָּׂרְפ֖וּ בָּאֵֽשׁ׃ פ | And they abandoned their gods there, and David gave the commandment that they were to be burned with fire. |
|| 2 Sam 5:21.
gave the commandment ← said, but also commanded. Compare Dan 1:3. |
| 1 Chr 14:13 | וַיֹּסִ֤יפוּ עוֹד֙ פְּלִשְׁתִּ֔ים וַֽיִּפְשְׁט֖וּ בָּעֵֽמֶק׃ | But the Philistines spread themselves out again in the valley. | || 2 Sam 5:22. |
| 1 Chr 14:14 | וַיִּשְׁאַ֨ל ע֤וֹד דָּוִיד֙ בֵּֽאלֹהִ֔ים וַיֹּ֤אמֶר לוֹ֙ הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים לֹ֥א תַֽעֲלֶ֖ה אַֽחֲרֵיהֶ֑ם הָסֵב֙ מֵֽעֲלֵיהֶ֔ם וּבָ֥אתָ לָהֶ֖ם מִמּ֥וּל הַבְּכָאִֽים׃ | And David inquired of God* again, and God* said to him, “You shall not go up after them. Go round away from them and advance on them from opposite the balsam trees. |
God* (2x): [CB] App. 32, citing Ginsburg, alleges a change by the Sopherim from יהוה, Yhvh, to אֱלֺהִים, Elohim, but this is only an inference, and we do not reverse it. Occurs twice here.
|| 2 Sam 5:23. advance on ← come to. |
| 1 Chr 14:15 | וִ֠יהִי כְּֽשָׁמְעֲךָ֞ אֶת־ק֤וֹל הַצְּעָדָה֙ בְּרָאשֵׁ֣י הַבְּכָאִ֔ים אָ֖ז תֵּצֵ֣א בַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה כִּֽי־יָצָ֤א הָֽאֱלֹהִים֙ לְפָנֶ֔יךָ לְהַכּ֖וֹת אֶת־מַחֲנֵ֥ה פְלִשְׁתִּֽים׃ | And it will come to pass, when you hear the sound of marching in the crowns of the balsam trees, that then you will go out to war, for God will go out before you to strike the Philistines' camp.” |
|| 2 Sam 5:24.
camp: or battalion. |
| 1 Chr 14:16 | וַיַּ֣עַשׂ דָּוִ֔יד כַּֽאֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוָּ֖הוּ הָֽאֱלֹהִ֑ים וַיַּכּוּ֙ אֶת־מַחֲנֵ֣ה פְלִשְׁתִּ֔ים מִגִּבְע֖וֹן וְעַד־גָּֽזְרָה׃ | And David did as God* had commanded him, and they struck the Philistines' camp from Gibeon to Gezer. |
God*: [CB] App. 32, citing Ginsburg, alleges a change by the Sopherim from יהוה, Yhvh, to אֱלֺהִים, Elohim, but this is only an inference, and we do not reverse it.
|| 2 Sam 5:25. Gezer: AV= Gazer. See 2 Sam 5:25, but MT is locative and pausal here. |
| 1 Chr 14:17 | וַיֵּצֵ֥א שֵׁם־דָּוִ֖יד בְּכָל־הָֽאֲרָצ֑וֹת וַֽיהוָ֛ה נָתַ֥ן אֶת־פַּחְדּ֖וֹ עַל־כָּל־הַגּוֹיִֽם׃ | And David's fame spread throughout all the lands, and the Lord put fear of him on all the nations. |
spread ← went out.
fear of him: an objective genitive (they fear him). |
| 1 Chr 15:1 | וַיַּֽעַשׂ־ל֥וֹ בָתִּ֖ים בְּעִ֣יר דָּוִ֑יד וַיָּ֤כֶן מָקוֹם֙ לַֽאֲר֣וֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים וַיֶּט־ל֖וֹ אֹֽהֶל׃ | And he made himself houses in the City of David, and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and he pitched a tent for it. | |
| 1 Chr 15:2 | אָ֚ז אָמַ֣ר דָּוִ֔יד לֹ֤א לָשֵׂאת֙ אֶת־אֲר֣וֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים כִּ֖י אִם־הַלְוִיִּ֑ם כִּי־בָ֣ם ׀ בָּחַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה לָשֵׂ֞את אֶת־אֲר֧וֹן יְהוָ֛ה וּֽלְשָׁרְת֖וֹ עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃ ס | Then David commanded that no-one should bear the ark of God except the Levites, for the Lord had chosen them to bear the ark of the Lord, and to serve him age-abidingly. | serve him: or officiate (with) it. |
| 1 Chr 15:3 | וַיַּקְהֵ֥ל דָּוִ֛יד אֶת־כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל אֶל־יְרֽוּשָׁלִָ֑ם לְהַעֲלוֹת֙ אֶת־אֲר֣וֹן יְהוָ֔ה אֶל־מְקוֹמ֖וֹ אֲשֶׁר־הֵכִ֥ין לֽוֹ׃ | And David convened all of Israel to Jerusalem for the bringing up of the ark of the Lord to its place which he had prepared for it. | |

| 1 Chr 15:12 | וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לָהֶ֔ם אַתֶּ֛ם רָאשֵׁ֥י הָאָב֖וֹת לַלְוִיִּ֑ם הִֽתְקַדְּשׁוּ֙ אַתֶּ֣ם וַאֲחֵיכֶ֔ם וְהַֽעֲלִיתֶ֗ם אֵ֣ת אֲר֤וֹן יְהוָה֙ אֱלֹהֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֶל־הֲכִינ֖וֹתִי לֽוֹ׃ | and he said to them, “You are the paternal heads of the Levites. Sanctify yourselves, you and your brothers, and bring the ark of the Lord God of Israel up to where I have prepared for it. | |
| 1 Chr 15:13 | כִּ֛י לְמַבָּרִ֥אשׁוֹנָ֖ה לֹ֣א אַתֶּ֑ם פָּרַ֨ץ יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֵ֙ינוּ֙ בָּ֔נוּ כִּי־לֹ֥א דְרַשְׁנֻ֖הוּ כַּמִּשְׁפָּֽט׃ | Since it wasn't you bringing it up on the first occasion, the Lord our God broke in on us – because we did not seek him according to the ordinance.” | since it wasn't you: Ahio and Uzza were not Levites (2 Sam 6:3, Abinadab being David's brother). |
| 1 Chr 15:14 | וַיִּֽתְקַדְּשׁ֔וּ הַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים וְהַלְוִיִּ֑ם לְהַעֲל֕וֹת אֶת־אֲר֥וֹן יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ | So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel. | |
| 1 Chr 15:15 | וַיִּשְׂא֣וּ בְנֵֽי־הַלְוִיִּ֗ם אֵ֚ת אֲר֣וֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים כַּאֲשֶׁ֛ר צִוָּ֥ה מֹשֶׁ֖ה כִּדְבַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה בִּכְתֵפָ֥ם בַּמֹּט֖וֹת עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃ פ | And the sons of the Levites bore the ark of God, as Moses had commanded, according to the word of the Lord, with the poles extending onto their shoulders. | with the poles extending onto their shoulders ← on their shoulder with the poles on them. |
| 1 Chr 15:16 | וַיֹּ֣אמֶר דָּוִיד֮ לְשָׂרֵ֣י הַלְוִיִּם֒ לְהַֽעֲמִ֗יד אֶת־אֲחֵיהֶם֙ הַמְשֹׁ֣רְרִ֔ים בִּכְלֵי־שִׁ֛יר נְבָלִ֥ים וְכִנֹּר֖וֹת וּמְצִלְתָּ֑יִם מַשְׁמִיעִ֥ים לְהָרִֽים־בְּק֖וֹל לְשִׂמְחָֽה׃ פ | And David told the senior Levites to appoint their brothers as the singers with instruments of song: lutes and harps and timbrels, producing sounds and with raising of the voice in joy. | senior ← chiefs of. |

| 1 Chr 15:18 | וְעִמָּהֶ֖ם אֲחֵיהֶ֣ם הַמִּשְׁנִ֑ים זְכַרְיָ֡הוּ בֵּ֡ן וְיַֽעֲזִיאֵ֡ל וּשְׁמִֽירָמ֡וֹת וִיחִיאֵ֣ל ׀ וְעֻנִּ֡י אֱלִיאָ֡ב וּבְנָיָ֡הוּ וּמַֽעֲשֵׂיָ֡הוּ וּמַתִּתְיָהוּ֩ וֶאֱלִ֨יפְלֵ֜הוּ וּמִקְנֵיָ֨הוּ וְעֹבֵ֥ד אֱדֹ֛ם וִֽיעִיאֵ֖ל הַשֹּׁעֲרִֽים׃ | And with them were their brothers the juniors in rank: Zechariah, Ben and Jaaziel and Shemiramoth and Jehiel and Unni, Eliab and Benaiah and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah and Elipheleh and Mikneiah and Obed-Edom and Jeiel, the gatekeepers; | juniors in rank ← second (ones). |

Elipheleh ← Eliphelehu, but we conform this to 1 Chr 15:18, as does AV.
accompanying ← at. eighth day division choir: AV differs (Sheminith). See [CB] App. 65. |
| 1 Chr 15:22 | וּכְנַנְיָ֥הוּ שַֽׂר־הַלְוִיִּ֖ם בְּמַשָּׂ֑א יָסֹר֙ בַּמַּשָּׂ֔א כִּ֥י מֵבִ֖ין הֽוּא׃ | and Chenaniah, a senior Levite who was engaged in the singing – he instructed the singing because he was knowledgeable; |
senior ← chief of.
who was engaged in the singing: or, by inference, (led) in the singing, but the absence of a verb, strictly speaking, admits only (was) in the singing. he instructed: infinitive absolute in the role of a finite verb. |
| 1 Chr 15:23 | וּבֶֽרֶכְיָה֙ וְאֶלְקָנָ֔ה שֹׁעֲרִ֖ים לָאָרֽוֹן׃ | and Berechiah and Elkanah, gatekeepers for the ark; | |

And on David was an ephod of fine linen. |
|| 2 Sam 6:14.
byssus: also known as sea-silk [Wikipedia]. Very valuable. choir ← singing ← lifting up. |
| 1 Chr 15:28 | וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל מַעֲלִים֙ אֶת־אֲר֣וֹן בְּרִית־יְהוָ֔ה בִּתְרוּעָה֙ וּבְק֣וֹל שׁוֹפָ֔ר וּבַחֲצֹצְר֖וֹת וּבִמְצִלְתָּ֑יִם מַשְׁמִעִ֕ים בִּנְבָלִ֖ים וְכִנֹּרֽוֹת׃ | So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord, with shouting and with the sound of the ramshorn and with trumpets and with timbrels, making sounds with lutes and harps. | || 2 Sam 6:15. |

|| 2 Sam 6:16.
cavorting ← playing, but also playing around. |
| 1 Chr 16:1 | וַיָּבִ֙יאוּ֙ אֶת־אֲר֣וֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִ֔ים וַיַּצִּ֣יגוּ אֹת֔וֹ בְּת֣וֹךְ הָאֹ֔הֶל אֲשֶׁ֥ר נָֽטָה־ל֖וֹ דָּוִ֑יד וַיַּקְרִ֛יבוּ עֹל֥וֹת וּשְׁלָמִ֖ים לִפְנֵ֥י הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ | And they brought the ark of God*, and they put it inside the tent which David had pitched for it, and they made burnt offerings and peace-offerings before God*. |
God* (2x): [CB] App. 32, citing Ginsburg, alleges a change by the Sopherim from יהוה, Yhvh, to אֱלֺהִים, Elohim, but this is only an inference, and we do not reverse it.

burnt offering: as MT. |

|| 1 Ki 22:43.
in doing: gerundial use of the infinitive. |
| 2 Chr 20:33 | אַ֥ךְ הַבָּמ֖וֹת לֹא־סָ֑רוּ וְע֤וֹד הָעָם֙ לֹא־הֵכִ֣ינוּ לְבָבָ֔ם לֵאלֹהֵ֖י אֲבֹתֵיהֶֽם׃ | But the idolatrous raised sites were not removed, and the people still had not prepared their hearts for the God of their fathers. |

they are to be seen ← behold them. who is recorded ← who / which has been raised / enrolled. Singular, so less likely to refer to the affairs or the Chronicles. |
| 2 Chr 20:35 | וְאַחֲרֵיכֵ֗ן אֶתְחַבַּר֙ יְהוֹשָׁפָ֣ט מֶֽלֶךְ־יְהוּדָ֔ה עִ֖ם אֲחַזְיָ֣ה מֶֽלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל ה֖וּא הִרְשִׁ֥יעַ לַעֲשֽׂוֹת׃ | And after that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah allied himself with Ahaziah the king of Israel. He acted wrongly in doing this. |

allying yourself: gerundial use of the infinitive.
thwarted ← broken. were not able ← did not retain (strength). |

And they captured all the property which was present in the king's house, and also his sons and his wives, and there was not a son of his remaining except Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons. |

|| 2 Ki 8:29.
Jezreel (2x): see Josh 15:56. dealt ← struck. Hazael: see 2 Ki 8:8. Azariah: the same as Ahaziah. The meanings are similar (the Lord helps / the Lord holds). |

royal seed: i.e. heirs to the throne. The statement has an exception (one royal seed not destroyed), about to be explained. Compare 1 Cor 1:14. |

| 2 Chr 28:13 | וַיֹּאמְר֣וּ לָהֶ֗ם לֹא־תָבִ֤יאוּ אֶת־הַשִּׁבְיָה֙ הֵ֔נָּה כִּי֩ לְאַשְׁמַ֨ת יְהוָ֤ה עָלֵ֙ינוּ֙ אַתֶּ֣ם אֹמְרִ֔ים לְהֹסִ֥יף עַל־חַטֹּאתֵ֖ינוּ וְעַל־אַשְׁמָתֵ֑ינוּ כִּֽי־רַבָּ֤ה אַשְׁמָה֙ לָ֔נוּ וַחֲר֥וֹן אָ֖ף עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ ס | And they said to them, “You shall not bring the body of captives here, for what you are propounding would entail a guilty verdict from the Lord against us, in adding to our sins and to our guilt, for our guilt is great, and there is furious anger on Israel.” |
for what you are propounding would entail a guilty verdict from the Lord against us: AV differs (for whereas we have offended against the LORD already).
in adding: gerundial use of the infinitive. |

| 2 Chr 32:8 | עִמּוֹ֙ זְר֣וֹעַ בָּשָׂ֔ר וְעִמָּ֜נוּ יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹהֵ֙ינוּ֙ לְעָזְרֵ֔נוּ וּלְהִלָּחֵ֖ם מִלְחֲמֹתֵ֑נוּ וַיִּסָּמְכ֣וּ הָעָ֔ם עַל־דִּבְרֵ֖י יְחִזְקִיָּ֥הוּ מֶֽלֶךְ־יְהוּדָֽה׃ פ | With him there is an arm of flesh, but with us is the Lord our God to help us and to fight our wars.” And the people trusted the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. | |

| 2 Chr 32:13 | הֲלֹ֣א תֵדְע֗וּ מֶ֤ה עָשִׂ֙יתִי֙ אֲנִ֣י וַאֲבוֹתַ֔י לְכֹ֖ל עַמֵּ֣י הָאֲרָצ֑וֹת הֲיָכ֣וֹל יָֽכְל֗וּ אֱלֹהֵי֙ גּוֹיֵ֣ הָאֲרָצ֔וֹת לְהַצִּ֥יל אֶת־אַרְצָ֖ם מִיָּדִֽי׃ | Don't you know what I and my fathers have done to all the various peoples of the countries at large?

| 2 Chr 32:15 | וְעַתָּ֡ה אַל־יַשִּׁיא֩ אֶתְכֶ֨ם חִזְקִיָּ֜הוּ וְאַל־יַסִּ֨ית אֶתְכֶ֣ם כָּזֹאת֮ וְאַל־תַּאֲמִ֣ינוּ לוֹ֒ כִּי־לֹ֣א יוּכַ֗ל כָּל־אֱל֙וֹהַ֙ כָּל־גּ֣וֹי וּמַמְלָכָ֔ה לְהַצִּ֥יל עַמּ֛וֹ מִיָּדִ֖י וּמִיַּ֣ד אֲבוֹתָ֑י אַ֚ף כִּ֣י אֱֽלֹהֵיכֶ֔ם לֹא־יַצִּ֥ילוּ אֶתְכֶ֖ם מִיָּדִֽי׃ | So now, do not let Hezekiah deceive you or mislead you like this, and do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom will be able to deliver his people from my grip or from the grip of my fathers, so how much less will your gods deliver you from my grip?’ ” |
|| 2 Ki 18:29, 2 Ki 18:30, Isa 36:14, Isa 36:15.
no ← not every. any ← every. grip (3x) ← hand. gods: the verb is plural, probably because the Assyrians assumed the Hebrews had many gods. |
| 2 Chr 32:16 | וְעוֹד֙ דִּבְּר֣וּ עֲבָדָ֔יו עַל־יְהוָ֖ה הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וְעַ֖ל יְחִזְקִיָּ֥הוּ עַבְדּֽוֹ׃ | And his servants spoke more against the Lord God and against Hezekiah his servant. | |

|| 2 Ki 19:11, Isa 37:10, Isa 37:11.
grip (2x) ← hand. God: the verb is singular. We capitalize despite the fact that the Assyrians would only regard God as a god among many. |
| 2 Chr 32:18 | וַיִּקְרְא֨וּ בְקוֹל־גָּד֜וֹל יְהוּדִ֗ית עַל־עַ֤ם יְרוּשָׁלִַ֙ם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עַל־הַֽחוֹמָ֔ה לְיָֽרְאָ֖ם וּֽלְבַהֲלָ֑ם לְמַ֖עַן יִלְכְּד֥וּ אֶת־הָעִֽיר׃ | And they called out in a loud voice in Judaean to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them and alarm them, in order to capture the city. | || 2 Ki 18:26, Isa 36:11. |

|| 2 Ki 19:35, 2 Ki 19:36, Isa 37:36, Isa 37:37. |
| 2 Chr 32:22 | וַיּוֹשַׁע֩ יְהוָ֨ה אֶת־יְחִזְקִיָּ֜הוּ וְאֵ֣ת ׀ יֹשְׁבֵ֣י יְרוּשָׁלִַ֗ם מִיַּ֛ד סַנְחֵרִ֥יב מֶֽלֶךְ־אַשּׁ֖וּר וּמִיַּד־כֹּ֑ל וַֽיְנַהֲלֵ֖ם מִסָּבִֽיב׃ | So the Lord delivered Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the grip of Sennacherib king of Assyria, and from the grip of all, and he led them around. | grip ← hand. |

The passages 2 Ki 20:12 - 2 Ki 20:19 and Isa 39:1 - Isa 39:8 also describe the same period, but with ↴
shown ← recompensed. proud ← high. came ← became. |
| 2 Chr 32:26 | וַיִּכָּנַ֤ע יְחִזְקִיָּ֙הוּ֙ בְּגֹ֣בַהּ לִבּ֔וֹ ה֖וּא וְיֹשְׁבֵ֣י יְרוּשָׁלִָ֑ם וְלֹא־בָ֤א עֲלֵיהֶם֙ קֶ֣צֶף יְהוָ֔ה בִּימֵ֖י יְחִזְקִיָּֽהוּ׃ | Then Hezekiah humbled himself in regard to his pride – he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem – and the Lord's anger did not come on them in the days of Hezekiah. |

kinds of cattle ← cattle and cattle.
herds for the stalls: AV differs, exchanging these nouns (and cotes for flocks). |

The difference between ketiv and qeré is a hé and a heth respectively, with perhaps a space in the ketiv. Re-pointed, the qeré could read בְּחָרְבוֹתֵיהֶם, in their desolate places; see Ps 109:10.
using (qeré) ← with. |
| 2 Chr 34:7 | וַיְנַתֵּ֣ץ אֶת־הַֽמִּזְבְּח֗וֹת וְאֶת־הָאֲשֵׁרִ֤ים וְהַפְּסִלִים֙ כִּתַּ֣ת לְהֵדַ֔ק וְכָל־הַֽחַמָּנִ֥ים גִּדַּ֖ע בְּכָל־אֶ֣רֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיָּ֖שָׁב לִירוּשָׁלִָֽם׃ ס | And when he had demolished the altars, and broken up and ground fine the phallic parks and the carved images, and had cut down all the sun-images, in all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem. | We group the words as MT; AV differs (and when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder). |

|| 2 Ki 22:3.
in cleansing: gerundial use of the infinitive. Jehoahaz ← Joahaz, as AV here, perhaps to distinguish from the king of Israel, but despite the accuracy in transliteration here, we do not introduce an artificial distinction. See 2 Ki 14:1. |
| 2 Chr 34:9 | וַיָּבֹ֜אוּ אֶל־חִלְקִיָּ֣הוּ ׀ הַכֹּהֵ֣ן הַגָּד֗וֹל וַֽיִּתְּנוּ֮ אֶת־הַכֶּסֶף֮ הַמּוּבָ֣א בֵית־אֱלֹהִים֒ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אָסְפֽוּ־הַלְוִיִּם֩ שֹׁמְרֵ֨י הַסַּ֜ף מִיַּ֧ד מְנַשֶּׁ֣ה וְאֶפְרַ֗יִם וּמִכֹּל֙ שְׁאֵרִ֣ית יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וּמִכָּל־יְהוּדָ֖ה וּבִנְיָמִ֑ן *וישבי **וַיָּשֻׁ֖בוּ יְרֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃ | And when they had come to Hilkiah the high priest, they gave him the money which had been brought to the house of God, which the Levite doorkeepers had collected from the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and from all the rest of Israel and from all of Judah and Benjamin and {K: the inhabitants of} [Q: they returned to] Jerusalem. |
|| 2 Ki 22:4.
