David wanted to build a temple for God but God would not allow him to.

# 1 Chronicles 18 General Notes
|

|

### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### David's victories
|
||||
David conquered all kingdoms neighboring Israel. The gold, silver and bronze he received from these victories, he saved for building the temple. This may indicate that he believed that the victories were because of Yahweh and therefore the goods received in victory belonged to him. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/temple]])

This chapter ends the story of the war with Ammon and tells of giants being killed by David's soldiers.
|

|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### "When kings normally go to war"
|
||||
It was advantageous for kings to go to war in the springtime. This was possibly due to the weather being neither too hot nor too cold.
|
||||
|
||||
### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### "It came about"
|
||||
This is a phrase used to indicate the next event in a series. It can often be translated as "after," "then" or "next."

||||
To trust in one's own power instead of God's protection is a sin. David had been trusting God to protect him, but now he counted the men of military age so he could know the strength of his army. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/trust]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sin]])

# 2 Chronicles 10 General Notes
|
||||
|
||||
### Structure and formatting
|
||||
|
||||
This begins a section on King Rehoboam. (2 Chronicles 10-12)
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Rehoboam's taxes
|
||||
The people asked Solomon's son, Rehoboam, to reduce the heavy taxes and the forced labor Solomon had demanded but Rehoboam refused. He lacked the wisdom to follow the advice of the men who had been councilors of his father Solomon. So the ten northern tribes broke off and made Jeroboam their king. They were called "Israel" and Rehoboam's kingdom was called Judah. This will cause confusion between the northern kingdom of Israel and the whole nation of Israel. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/wise]])
|
||||
|
||||
### Important figures of speech in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Metaphor
|
||||
|
||||
The people use the metaphor of a yoke to complain about the high taxes and forced labor Solomon demanded from the people. They said, "Your father made our yoke difficult." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

|

### Structure and formatting
|

|
||||
The section on King Rehoboam continues in this chapter.
|
||||
|
||||
### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Strengthening their defenses
|
||||
Rehoboam strengthened the defenses of Judah. Without the help of the northern tribes, the kingdom of Judah did not really have much power to defend itself from outside attacks. Therefore, Rehoboam felt it necessary to strengthen Judah's military defenses.
|
||||
|
||||
### Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
|
||||
|
||||
#### Israel
|
||||
When the author speaks about Israel, he is now referring almost exclusively to the northern kingdom of Israel and not the united nation of Israel.

This chapter ends the section on King Rehoboam.

### Special concepts in this chapter
|
||||
|

#### Worshiping Yahweh
|
||||
|
||||
The safety of Israel and Judah was dependent upon the people worshiping Yahweh and not upon their military power. Because Rehoboam deserted the worship of God, God allowed the king of Egypt to take all of the wealth Solomon stored up.

#### Joash repairs the temple
|
||||
|
||||
Joash decided to repair the temple. The Levites collected money from people and gave it to the workmen to repair the temple. This was a sign of worship towards Yahweh. (See: [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/temple]] and [[rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/sign]])
|
||||
|
||||
#### Joash becomes evil
|
||||
|
||||
When Joash stopped worshiping Yahweh, he had many troubles. Joash remaind loyal to Yahweh as long as the chief priest lived, but when the chief priest died Joash started following other gods. The chief priest's son warned him that he would have trouble, so he had him killed. The army of Aram defeated and plundered him and his servants murdered him.
