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 ancestors and your relatives who were unfaithful to the LORD God of their ancestors. He made them something that shocks people, as you have seen.

8 Don't be impossible to deal with like your ancestors. Reach out for the LORD. Come to his holy place that he made holy forever. Serve the LORD your God, and he will turn his burning anger away from you.

9 When you return to the LORD, your relatives and children will find compassion from those who captured them. They will return to this land. The LORD your God is merciful and compassionate. He will not turn his face away from you if you return to him."
