2 Chronicles 20:9-11
New English Translation

9 ‘If disaster comes on us in the form of military attack,[a] judgment, plague, or famine, we will stand in front of this temple before you, for you are present in this temple.[b] We will cry out to you for help in our distress, so that you will[c] hear and deliver us.’ 10 Now the Ammonites, Moabites, and men from Mount Seir are coming![d] When Israel came from the land of Egypt, you did not allow them to invade these lands.[e] They bypassed them and did not destroy them. 11 Look how they are repaying us! They come to drive us out of our allotted land which you assigned to us!

  2. 2 Chronicles 20:9 tn Heb “for your name is in this house.” The “name” of the Lord sometimes designates the Lord himself, being indistinguishable from the proper name. In this case the temple is referred to as a “house” where the Lord himself can reside.
  3. 2 Chronicles 20:9 tn Or “so that you may.”
  4. 2 Chronicles 20:10 tn Heb “now, look, the sons of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir.”
