11 Quoted for _Jehoshaphat_ (2 Chron. xx. 34).
12 Quoted for _Manasseh_ (2 Chron. xxxiii. 19). “Seers,” A.V., R.V. Marg., with LXX.; R.V., with Hebrew text, “Hozai.” The passage is probably corrupt.

14 Quoted for _Hezekiah_ (2 Chron. xxxii. 32).
15 Quoted for _Joash_ (2 Chron. xxiv. 27).

22 R.V. marg.
_ 24 E.g._, the wars of Jotham (2 Chron. xxvii. 7).
25 2 Chron. xiii. 22; xxiv. 27. The LXX., however, does not read “Midrash” in either case; and it is quite possible that glosses have attached themselves to the text of Chronicles.
26 Cf. 2 Sam. vi. 12-20 with 1 Chron. xv., xvi.
27 Cf. 2 Kings xi.; 2 Chron. xxiii.
28 The last two classes are not easily distinguished; but the additions which introduce the Levitical system into earlier history are clearly the work of the chronicler or his immediate predecessor, if such a predecessor be assumed, or were found in somewhat late sources. This is also probably true of other explanatory matter.
29 Cf. 2 Sam. iv. with 1 Chron. viii. 34, also 2 Sam. vii. 7 with 1 Chron. xvii. 6, and 2 Sam. xvii. 25 with 1 Chron. ii. 17. In both these instances Chronicles preserves the correct text.
30 Cf. Book II., Chap. IV.

56 Joel i. 15; Isa. xiii. 6. It is not necessary here to discuss either the etymological or the theological history of these words in their earliest usage, nor need we do more than recall the fact that Jehovah was the term in common use as the personal name of the God of Israel, while El was rare and sometimes generic.

63 The occurrence of Caleb the son of Jephunneh in iv, 15, vi. 56, in no way militates against this view: the chronicler, like other redactors, is simply inserting borrowed material without correcting it. _Chelubai_ in ii. 9 stands for _Caleb_; cf. ii. 18.
64 viii. 33-40; ix. 35-44. We have used Mephibosheth as more familiar, but Chronicles reads Meribbaal, which is more correct.
