2 Chronicles 21 Footnotes

21:6 “Ahab’s daughter” was Athaliah, also the granddaughter of Omri (22:2).

21:19 “Two full years” is literally “two days.” Most modern translations understand the Hebrew word for “days” in the plural to mean a year. Otherwise, it seems to contradict the longer period of illness implied in v. 15 above. Some interpret the expression to mean his intestines came out two days before he died. The “fire” was not a cremation, but a ritual of honor.
