2 Chronicles 6:28

dearth R.V. famine (as in 1 Kings).

caterpillars Rather some kind of locust; see Driver on Joel 1:4.

in the cities of their land R.V. in the land of their cities (Heb. gates). The text is probably corrupt: read either, in any one of their cities (cp. LXX.), or, by making a breach in his gates (Heb. biphěrôçfor b'ereç).

whatsoever sore R.V. whatsoever plague. "Plague" is used here in the general sense of calamity, as in the phrase. The Ten Plagues of Egypt.
