1 Kings 12:10, 2 Chronicles 10:10

In reading the NIV, I found a significant pleonasm in 2 Chronicles 10:10:

The young men who had grown up with him [Rehoboam] replied, "Tell the people who have said to you, 'Your father put a heavy yoke on us, but make our yoke lighter' - tell them, 'My little finger is thicker than my father's waist.'"

"Tell" unnecessarily appears a second time, also in the Hebrew:

יְדַבְּרוּ אִתּוֹ הַיְלָדִים אֲשֶׁר גָּדְלוּ אִתּוֹ לֵאמֹר כֹּֽה־תֹאמַר לָעָם אֲשֶׁר־דִּבְּרוּ אֵלֶיךָ לֵאמֹר אָבִיךָ הִכְבִּיד אֶת־עֻלֵּנוּ וְאַתָּה הָקֵל מֵעָלֵינוּ כֹּה תֹּאמַר אֲלֵהֶם קָֽטָנִּי עָבָה מִמָּתְנֵי אָבִֽי׃

In the following verse, these young men advise Rehoboam to impose a heavier burden on the people, and later he follows their advice.  In a way, the pleonastic "tell" reflects this increase; even in the language that these young men use, there's an abundance.

The parallel passage in 1 Kings 12:10 also contains a pleonasm, although here the two words are distinct in Hebrew:

וַיְדַבְּרוּ אֵלָיו הַיְלָדִים אֲשֶׁר גָּדְלוּ אִתּוֹ לֵאמֹר כֹּֽה־תֹאמַר לָעָם הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר דִּבְּרוּ אֵלֶיךָ לֵאמֹר אָבִיךָ הִכְבִּיד אֶת־עֻלֵּנוּ וְאַתָּה הָקֵל מֵעָלֵינוּ כֹּה תְּדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם קָֽטָנִּי עָבָה מִמָּתְנֵי אָבִֽי׃

1 Kings 3:12, 2 Chronicles 1:12

I've been following Aleph with Beth since it started in 2020, although I'm not up to date because I've been watching the videos at a slower rate than they're posted.  In June last year, I watched lesson 98 where (at ~13:53) 1 Kings 3:12 is shown:

הִנֵּה עָשִׂיתִי כִּדְבָרֶיךָ הִנֵּה ׀ נָתַתִּי לְךָ לֵב חָכָם וְנָבוֹן אֲשֶׁר כָּמוֹךָ לֹא־הָיָה לְפָנֶיךָ וְאַחֲרֶיךָ לֹא־יָקוּם כָּמֽוֹךָ׃

"Behold, I now do according to your word.  Behold, I give you a wise and discerning mind, so that none like you has been before you and none like you shall arise after you."  [ESV]

In Hebrew, the last portion of the verse features a chiasm:

כָּמוֹךָ (like you)

לֹא־הָיָה (one has not existed)

לְפָנֶיךָ (before you)

וְאַחֲרֶיךָ (and after you)

לֹא־יָקוּם (one will not arise)

כָּמֽוֹךָ (like you)

This structure illustrates the two-fold view:  one word order for looking to the past, and the opposite order for looking to the future.

Shortly after I noticed this, I happened to read 2 Chronicles 1 in the NIV, where Solomon's request is recounted again.  God's response exhibits a chiastic structure here, too, albeit in a condensed form (in verse 12):

הַֽחָכְמָה וְהַמַּדָּע נָתוּן לָךְ וְעֹשֶׁר וּנְכָסִים וְכָבוֹד אֶתֶּן־לָךְ אֲשֶׁר ׀ לֹא־הָיָה כֵן לַמְּלָכִים אֲשֶׁר לְפָנֶיךָ וְאַחֲרֶיךָ לֹא יִֽהְיֶה־כֵּֽן׃

"therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you.  And I will also give you wealth, riches, and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have."  [NIV]

Specifically:

לֹא־הָיָה כֵן (such as was not)

לַמְּלָכִים אֲשֶׁר לְפָנֶיךָ (to the kings who [were] before you)

וְאַחֲרֶיךָ (and after you)

לֹא יִֽהְיֶה־כֵּֽן (will not be thus)
