2 Raja-raja 6:14

6:14 So he sent horses and chariots there, along with a good-sized army. ¹  They arrived during the night and surrounded the city.

2 Raja-raja 10:27

10:27 They demolished ²  the sacred pillar of Baal and ³  the temple of Baal; it is used as ⁴  a latrine ⁵  to this very day.

¹ tn Heb “heavy force.”

² tn Or “pulled down.”

³ tn The verb “they demolished” is repeated in the Hebrew text.

⁴ tn Heb “and they made it into.”

⁵ tn The consonantal text (Kethib) has the hapax legomenon מַחֲרָאוֹת (makhara’ot), “places to defecate” or “dung houses” (note the related noun חרא (khr’)/חרי (khri), “dung,” HALOT 348-49 s.v. *חֲרָאִים). The marginal reading (Qere) glosses this, perhaps euphemistically, מוֹצָאוֹת (motsa’ot), “outhouses.”
