2 Chronicles 10:4

Made... grievous... ease thou. — Made hard... lighten.

Now therefore. — And now. Kings and the Syriac here, “and thou now” — w’attah ‘attah: an assonance which the chronicler has avoided, at the expense of the proper emphasis, which lies on thou. (Some Hebrew MSS. and the Vulgate and Arabic read, and thou.) (Comp. 2 Chronicles 10:10, and thou... lighten it.)
