2 Chronicles 28:23

23 He offered sacrifices to the gods of Damascus whom he thought had defeated him.[a] He reasoned,[b] “Since the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, I will sacrifice to them so they will help me.” But they caused him and all Israel to stumble.

- 2 Chronicles 28:23 tn Heb “the gods of Damascus, the ones who had defeated him.” The words “he thought” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The perspective is that of Ahaz, not the narrator! Another option is that “the kings” has been accidentally omitted after “gods of.” See v. 23b.
- 2 Chronicles 28:23 tn Heb “said.”
