2 Chronicles 6:21 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Supplications.Tahănûnîm, a word chiefly poetic and late, which nowhere appears in Kings, and only here in Chronicles. Kings has the older synonym tĕhinnâh.

Hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven.Yea thouthou shalt hear from the place of thy dwelling, from the heavens. For “from,” in both places, Kings has “unto,” an unusual pregnant construction, which is probably original.

2 Chronicles 6:21

21 Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall makeb toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.
