2 Chronicles 29:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 29:9

For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword
Of the kings of Syria and Israel, even great numbers of them, ( 2 Chronicles 28:5 2 Chronicles 28:6 ) and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this;
for this idolatry; or they were, though afterwards dismissed, ( 2 Chronicles 28:8 2 Chronicles 28:15 ) and some of them were still in captivity, perhaps such as were carried captive by the Edomites, ( 2 Chronicles 28:17 ) .

2 Chronicles 29:9 In-Context

7 cluserunt ostia quae erant in porticu et extinxerunt lucernas incensumque non adoleverunt et holocausta non obtulerunt in sanctuario Deo Israhel

8 concitatus est itaque furor Domini super Iudam et Hierusalem tradiditque eos in commotionem et in interitum et in sibilum sicut ipsi cernitis oculis vestris

9 en corruerunt patres nostri gladiis filii nostri et filiae nostrae et coniuges captivae ductae sunt propter hoc scelus

10 nunc igitur placet mihi ut ineamus foedus cum Domino Deo Israhel et avertat a nobis furorem irae suae

11 filii mi nolite neglegere vos elegit Dominus ut stetis coram eo et ministretis illi colatis eum et cremetis incensum
