| 7. Formal Translation At that moment Hanani the seer approached Asa, king of Judah, and declared, “Because your trust {sha’an: support, reliance} was placed in the king of Aram instead of in the LORD your God {Yahweh Eloheikha, Personal Covenant God}, the Aramean army has escaped from your hand.” |
| 7. Dynamic Translation On that occasion Hanani the seer came to Asa, king of Judah, and warned him, “Your decision to depend on the king of Aram instead of on the LORD your God {Yahweh Eloheikha, Covenant Protector} has allowed the Aramean army to slip through your grasp.” |
