2 Chronicles 20

Verse 1, Hebrew repeats the Ammonites with some redundancy. Perhaps a scribal error. JB and NIV correct from a Greek MS.

Verse 2, a suggestive name.

Verse 13, their little ones, their wives, and their children (בן). Compare 2 Chronicles 31:18, Jeremiah 14:16, 1 Samuel 30:3 their wives and their sons (בן) and their daughters, and Numbers 16:27 their wives and their children (בן), and their little ones. These 5 verses reflect a merism of family.

I always wondered where the Advent response came from, tomorrow go ye forth and the Lord, he will be with you. And lo and behold, here it is. Now why would these words be used? The Salvation of Yahweh is to be with them. Salvation is Yeshua. Why does the Advent sentence leave that out?

It would not be hard to imagine our families cowering before odds that seem to great for us: mental illness, addictions, accidents, diseases of infinite variety, or cancer, belligerent bombast bullies ruling, poverty, trauma. Advent should be a time of encouragement. (These enemies are worth the battle. Some of them could also be friends in disguise.)

Verse 20: note the instruction in the second part of the verse: imperative, passive, imperative, imperative. The tenses must suggest that we avoid a simplistic parallelism. No English translation that I have looked at renders prosper as imperative. I don't do Greek but it looks like an imperative to me.

Note the choir also. The Chronicler seems to like music as a weapon of war. The song in verse 21 (4 times in Chronicles, once in Jeremiah, once in Ezra) recurs frequently in the Psalms especially 136. I rendered it two ways there, 27 times as Because forever is his kindness, words in Hebrew sequence and the remaining 6 times (106, 107, 118) in other Psalms as For his kindness is forever, words in a more traditional English sequence. I anticipated the Hebrew order in Psalm 136 the one time it occurs partially in Psalm 100. I don't really have any excuse for the English order - since clearly Hebrew order will follow the music better, but I was consistently inconsistent! I have used the English order always except for Psalm 136.

The honour (הדר) of holiness is my choice rather than the beauty (יפה) of holiness. I am not allowing myself to be free with apparent synonyms. honour and beauty are quite different animals in my opinion and their stems are different. Traditional glosses are randomly inconsistent.

Verse 25, these difficult enemies might destroy themselves. Thinking of cancer today and the Nobel prize for immunotherapy. (But the raw story is more fear, tribal warfare, looting, and destruction, whatever metaphor is made of it! Note the universal of Yahweh's rule, and the destructive role of Yahweh to those he governs in all the nations.)

2 Chronicles 20 Fn Min Max Syll
וַיְהִ֣י אַֽחֲרֵיכֵ֡ן בָּ֣אוּ בְנֵי־מוֹאָב֩ וּבְנֵ֨י עַמּ֜וֹן וְעִמָּהֶ֧ם ׀ מֵֽהָעַמּוֹנִ֛ים עַל־יְהוֹשָׁפָ֖ט לַמִּלְחָמָֽה 1 And it was after this the children of Moab came, and the children of Ammon, and with them from the Ammonites,
against Jehoshaphat to war.

וְהִנָּם֙ בְּחַֽצְצ֣וֹן תָּמָ֔ר הִ֖יא עֵ֥ין גֶּֽדִי
2 And they came and told Jehoshaphat, saying, an abundant tumult has come against you from beyond the sea, from Aram.
And behold, they are in Platoons-of-Palm-Tree. (This is Ein Gedi).
3d 4C 28

וּבְיָדְךָ֙ כֹּ֣חַ וּגְבוּרָ֔ה וְאֵ֥ין עִמְּךָ֖ לְהִתְיַצֵּֽב
6 And he said, Yahweh the God of our ancestors, are you not he, God in the heavens? And you govern in all the kingdoms of the nations.
And in your hand is power and valour, and with you there is no one to be stationed.

הֲלֹ֣א ׀ אַתָּ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ הוֹרַ֙שְׁתָּ֙ אֶת־יֹשְׁבֵי֙ הָאָ֣רֶץ הַזֹּ֔את מִלִּפְנֵ֖י עַמְּךָ֣ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל
וַֽתִּתְּנָ֗הּ לְזֶ֛רַע אַבְרָהָ֥ם אֹֽהַבְךָ֖ לְעוֹלָֽם
7 Are you not our God who dispossessed the inhabitants of this land from before your people Israel,
and gave it to the seed of Abraham, your love, forever?

וַיִּבְנ֨וּ לְךָ֧ ׀ בָּ֛הּ מִקְדָּ֖שׁ לְשִׁמְךָ֥ לֵאמֹֽר

And they built for you in it a sanctuary for your name, saying,

אִם־תָּב֨וֹא עָלֵ֜ינוּ רָעָ֗ה חֶרֶב֮ שְׁפוֹט֮ וְדֶ֣בֶר וְרָעָב֒ נַֽעַמְדָ֞ה לִפְנֵ֨י הַבַּ֤יִת הַזֶּה֙ וּלְפָנֶ֔יךָ כִּ֥י שִׁמְךָ֖ בַּבַּ֣יִת הַזֶּ֑ה
וְנִזְעַ֥ק אֵלֶ֛יךָ מִצָּרָתֵ֖נוּ וְתִשְׁמַ֥ע וְתוֹשִֽׁיעַ
9 If evil will come upon us, sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house and in your presence, for your name is in this house,
and we appeal to you in our adversity, then you will hear, and you will save.

15 And he said, Attend all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the king Jehoshaphat.
Thus says Yahweh to you, Yourselves, do not fear, and do not be in disarray from the presence of this abundant tumult, for not yours is the battle but God's.

37 And Eliezer, child of Dodavah of Mareshah, prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying,
Because you have partnered with Achaziah, Yahweh has breached your deeds. And the ships were shattered and could not be coerced to go to Tarshish.
