from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Because: "Because," says the Targumist, "thy heart was melted, and thou hast humbled thyself in the sight of the word of the Lord, meymra dyya, when thou didst hear His words, yath pithgamoi, against this place." Here meymra, the personal word, is plainly distinguished from pithgam, a word spoken.
thine heart: 2 Chronicles 32:12, 2 Chronicles 32:13, 2 Kings 22:18, 2 Kings 22:19, Psalms 34:18, Psalms 51:17, Isaiah 57:15, Isaiah 66:2, Ezekiel 9:4, Ezekiel 36:26
humble: 2 Chronicles 32:26, 2 Chronicles 33:12, 2 Chronicles 33:19, James 4:6-10
didst rend: 2 Chronicles 34:19, Jeremiah 36:23, Jeremiah 36:24
I have even: Psalms 10:17, Isaiah 65:24
Reciprocal: Genesis 6:11 - before Exodus 10:3 - humble Deuteronomy 17:20 - his heart 2 Chronicles 30:11 - humbled themselves Ezra 9:4 - trembled Ezra 10:3 - of those that Psalms 119:120 - My flesh Jeremiah 44:10 - are not Micah 6:8 - walk humbly Habakkuk 3:2 - I have Zephaniah 2:3 - all Matthew 5:3 - the poor Luke 4:18 - to heal

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 34:27. Because thine heart was tender — "Because thy heart was melted, and thou hast humbled thyself in the sight of the WORD of the Lord, מימרא דיי meymera daya, when thou didst hear his words, ית פתגמוי yath pithgamoi, against this place," &c. Here the Targum most evidently distinguishes between מימרא meymera, the PERSONAL WORD, and פתגם pithgam, a word spoken or expressed.
