2 Chronicles 30:9

9 for when you return to the Lord, your brothers and your sons [will receive] mercy in the presence of their captors and will return to this land. For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful; He will not turn [His] face away from you if you return to Him."

2 Chronicles 30:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 30:9

For if ye turn again unto the Lord
To the fear or worship of the Lord, as the Targum:

your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that
lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land;
who had been carried away by Tiglathpileser, see ( Psalms 106:46 ) ,

for the Lord your God is gracious and merciful;
so he had proclaimed his name, as they must know, ( Exodus 34:6 ) ,

and will not turn away his face from you;
in wrath and anger; or withdraw his Shecaniah from you, as the Targum; his gracious and glorious presence:

if ye return unto him;
his fear and worship, as the same paraphrase.

2 Chronicles 30:9 In-Context

7 Don't be like your fathers and your brothers who were unfaithful to the Lord God of their ancestors so that He made them an object of horror as you yourselves see.

8 Don't become obstinate now like your fathers did. Give your allegiance to the Lord, and come to His sanctuary that He has consecrated forever. Serve the Lord your God so that He may turn His fierce wrath away from you,

9 for when you return to the Lord, your brothers and your sons [will receive] mercy in the presence of their captors and will return to this land. For the Lord your God is gracious and merciful; He will not turn [His] face away from you if you return to Him."
