2 Chronicles 29:8

Compare all

6 For our fathers have trespassed and done evil in the eyes of the Lord our God; they have forsaken Him, have ^aturned their faces away from the¹ dwelling place of the Lord, and turned their backs on Him.

7 ^aThey have also shut up the doors of the vestibule, put out the lamps, and have not burned incense or offered burnt offerings in the holy place to the God of Israel.

8 Therefore the ^awrath of the Lord fell upon Judah and Jerusalem, and He has ^bgiven them up to trouble, to desolation, and to ^cjeering, as you see with your ^deyes.

9 For indeed, because of this ^aour fathers have fallen by the sword; and our sons, our daughters, and our wives are in captivity.

10 “Now it is in my heart to make ^aa covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that His fierce wrath may turn away from us.

2 Chronicles 29:8

He hath delivered them to trouble , to astonishment - He probably refers here chiefly to that dreadful defeat by the Israelites in which a hundred and twenty thousand were slain, and two hundred thousand taken prisoners; see the preceding chapter, II Chronicles 28:6-8 (note).
