Charles Ellicott Commentary 2 Chronicles 10:4

"Thy father made our yoke grievous: now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee." — 2 Chronicles 10:4 (ASV)

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 manuscripts and the Vulgate and Arabic read, and thou.) (Compare to 2 Chronicles 10:10, and thou ... lighten it.)
