2 Chronicles 30:9

9 si enim vos reversi fueritis ad Dominum fratres vestri et filii habebunt misericordiam coram dominis suis qui illos duxere captivos et revertentur in terram hanc pius enim et clemens est Dominus Deus vester et non avertet faciem suam a vobis si reversi fueritis ad eum

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.
