2 Chronicles — Footnotes

Chapter 1

1:16 — Egypt here, perhaps different than the land of the Nile, is located in the upper part of Mesopotamia. Literally, 'Mizraim'.

1:16 — Kue may be Cilicia.

Chapter 6

6:28 — gates of their land - at its outskirts, the region of its borders.

Chapter 7

7:21 — The text of 1 Kings 9:8 ('in ruins') is considered to be the original wording during this event. However, the original text written in 2 Chronicles, which is so high, is done either for stressing (see HOTTP and CTAT) or as a euphemism.

Chapter 9

9:7 — The text of 1 Kings 10:8 ('wives') is considered to be the original wording during this event. However, the original text written here, men, reflects an attempt to remove the mention of Solomon's badly reputed women in 1 Kings 11. (see HOTTP and CTAT).
