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.
3c 4B 33
וַיָּבֹ֗אוּ וַיַּגִּ֤ידוּ לִֽיהוֹשָׁפָט֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר בָּ֣א עָלֶ֜יךָ הָמ֥וֹן רָ֛ב מֵעֵ֥בֶר לַיָּ֖ם מֵאֲרָ֑ם
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
12
וַיִּרָ֕א וַיִּתֵּ֧ן יְהוֹשָׁפָ֛ט אֶת־פָּנָ֖יו לִדְר֣וֹשׁ לַיהוָ֑ה
וַיִּקְרָא־צ֖וֹם עַל־כָּל־יְהוּדָֽה
3 And Jehoshaphat was fearful and gave his presence to search out to Yahweh.
And he called a fast over all Judah.
3c 4B 17

וַיִּקָּבְצ֣וּ יְהוּדָ֔ה לְבַקֵּ֖שׁ מֵֽיְהוָ֑ה
גַּ֚ם מִכָּל־עָרֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה בָּ֖אוּ לְבַקֵּ֥שׁ אֶת־יְהוָֽה
4 And Judah collected themselves to seek from Yahweh.
Even from all the cities of Judah, they came to seek Yahweh.

וַיַּעֲמֹ֣ד יְהוֹשָׁפָ֗ט בִּקְהַ֧ל יְהוּדָ֛ה וִירוּשָׁלִַ֖ם בְּבֵ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה
לִפְנֵ֖י הֶחָצֵ֥ר הַחֲדָשָֽׁה
5 And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of Yahweh,
facing the new court.

וַיֹּאמַ֗ר יְהוָ֞ה אֱלֹהֵ֤י אֲבֹתֵ֙ינוּ֙ הֲלֹ֨א אַתָּֽה־ה֤וּא אֱלֹהִים֙ בַּשָּׁמַ֔יִם וְאַתָּ֣ה מוֹשֵׁ֔ל בְּכֹ֖ל מַמְלְכ֣וֹת הַגּוֹיִ֑ם
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.
3e 4C 36
16
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?
3d 4B 27
15
וַיֵּשְׁב֖וּ־בָ֑הּ
וַיִּבְנ֨וּ לְךָ֧ ׀ בָּ֛הּ מִקְדָּ֖שׁ לְשִׁמְךָ֥ לֵאמֹֽר
8 And they have inhabited it.
And they built for you in it a sanctuary for your name, saying,
3c 4A 4
13
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.

וְעַתָּ֡ה הִנֵּה֩ בְנֵֽי־עַמּ֨וֹן וּמוֹאָ֜ב וְהַר־שֵׂעִ֗יר אֲ֠שֶׁר לֹֽא־נָתַ֤תָּה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לָב֣וֹא בָהֶ֔ם בְּבֹאָ֖ם מֵאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם
כִּ֛י סָ֥רוּ מֵעֲלֵיהֶ֖ם וְלֹ֥א הִשְׁמִידֽוּם
10 And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom you had not permitted Israel to enter when they came from the land of Egypt,
but they turned aside from them, and did not exterminate them,

12
וְהִ֨נֵּה־הֵ֔ם גֹּמְלִ֖ים עָלֵ֑ינוּ
לָבוֹא֙ לְגָ֣רְשֵׁ֔נוּ מִיְּרֻשָּׁתְךָ֖ אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֽוֹרַשְׁתָּֽנוּ

to enter to expel us from your possession that you gave us to possess.

אֱלֹהֵ֙ינוּ֙ הֲלֹ֣א תִשְׁפָּט־בָּ֔ם כִּ֣י אֵ֥ין בָּ֙נוּ֙ כֹּ֔חַ לִ֠פְנֵי הֶהָמ֥וֹן הָרָ֛ב הַזֶּ֖ה הַבָּ֣א עָלֵ֑ינוּ
וַאֲנַ֗חְנוּ לֹ֤א נֵדַע֙ מַֽה־נַּעֲשֶׂ֔ה כִּ֥י עָלֶ֖יךָ עֵינֵֽינוּ
12 Our God, will you not judge in them? For there is no power among us in the face of this abundant tumult that has come over us,
and we not do know what we should do, but on you are our eyes.

on him was the spirit of Yahweh in the midst of the congregation.

13
וַיֹּ֗אמֶר הַקְשִׁ֤יבוּ כָל־יְהוּדָה֙ וְיֹשְׁבֵ֣י יְרוּשָׁלִַ֔ם וְהַמֶּ֖לֶךְ יְהוֹשָׁפָ֑ט
כֹּֽה־אָמַ֨ר יְהוָ֜ה לָכֶ֗ם אַ֠תֶּם אַל־תִּֽירְא֤וּ וְאַל־תֵּחַ֙תּוּ֙ מִפְּנֵ֨י הֶהָמ֤וֹן הָרָב֙ הַזֶּ֔ה כִּ֣י לֹ֥א לָכֶ֛ם הַמִּלְחָמָ֖ה כִּ֥י לֵאלֹהִֽים
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.

מָחָר֙ רְד֣וּ עֲלֵיהֶ֔ם הִנָּ֥ם עֹלִ֖ים בְּמַעֲלֵ֣ה הַצִּ֑יץ

20 And they rose early in the morning, and they went forth to the wilderness of Tekoa.

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.
