- Israel:
- Jehoshaphat was certainly not king of Israel, but of Judah: Yisrael must therefore be a mistake for Yehoodah; which is the reading of thirty-eight of Dr. Kennicott's and De Rossi's manuscripts, and of the Syriac, Arabic, Septuagint, and Vulgate. "Now when Jehoramª was risen upª° to¹ the kingdomª of his father,ª he strengthened²° himself,¹ and slewª°¹ all¹ his brethrenª with the sword,ª and [divers] also¹ of the princesª¹ of Israel.ª" {2Ch 21:4} + "Whereupon the princesª of Israelª and the kingª humbled²° themselves;¹ and they said,ª° The LORDª [is] righteous.ª" {2Ch 12:6} + "And they went aboutª° in Judah,ª and gatheredª°¹ the Levitesª out of all¹¹ the citiesª of Judah,ª and the chiefª of the fathersª of Israel,ª and they cameª° to¹ Jerusalem.ª" {2Ch 23:2} + "And he gathered togetherª°¹ the priestsª and the Levites,ª and saidª° to them, Go outª° unto the citiesª of Judah,ª and gatherª° of all¹¹ Israelª moneyª to repairª°¹ the houseª of your Godª fromª¹ yearª to year,ª and see that ye¹ hastenª° the matter.ª Howbeit the Levitesª hastenedª° [it] not.¹" {2Ch 24:5} + "And they buriedª° him in the cityª of Davidª among¹ the kings,ª because¹ he had doneª° goodª in Israel,ª both toward¹ God,ª and toward his house.ª" {2Ch 24:16} + "For¹ the LORDª broughtª°¹ Judahª low²° because of¹ Ahazª kingª of Israel;ª for¹ he made²° Judah² naked,ª°¹ and transgressedª° soreª against the LORD.ª" {2Ch 28:19} + "For he sacrificedª° unto the godsª of Damascus,ª which smoteª° him: and he said,ª° Because¹ the godsª of the kingsª of Syriaª helpª° them, [therefore] will I sacrificeª° to them, that they may helpª° me. But they¹ were¹ the ruinª° of him, and of all¹ Israel.ª" {2Ch 28:23} + "And Ahazª sleptª° with¹ his fathers,ª and they buriedª° him in the city,ª [even] in Jerusalem:ª but¹ they broughtª° him not¹ into the sepulchresª of the kingsª of Israel:ª and Hezekiahª his sonª reignedª° in his stead.¹" {2Ch 28:27} + "Now the restª of the acts² of¹ Manasseh,ª and his prayerª unto¹ his God,ª and the wordsª of the seersª that spakeª° to¹ him in the nameª of the LORDª Godª of Israel,ª behold,¹ they [are written] in¹ the bookª of the kingsª of Israel.ª" {2Ch 33:18} + "And there was no¹ passoverª like² to¹ that keptª° in Israelª from the daysª¹ of Samuelª the prophet;ª neither¹ didª° all¹ the kingsª of Israelª keepª° such a passoverª as¹ Josiahª kept,ª° and the priests,ª and the Levites,ª and all¹ Judahª and Israelª that were present,ª° and the inhabitantsª° of Jerusalem.ª" {2Ch 35:18}
