Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

17:3-4 For the first time, the Chronicler compares Judah’s practices with those of northern Israel, showing his awareness that the Baal cult from Tyre had been introduced into northern worship (see 1 Kgs 16:31-32).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

(Occurrence 0) not after the behavior of Israel

(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when after,God_of his/its=father sought and,in/on/at/with,commandments_of,his walked and=not according_to,practices_of Yisrael )

“and did not behave in the ways of the people of Israel.” This refers to how most of the people of Israel did not follow Yahweh. Alternate translation: “and did not follow the evil practices that were common in Israel”
