¹ tn Actually two Hebrew words appear here, both of which are usually (but not always) taken as referring to locusts. Perhaps different stages of growth or different varieties are in view, but this is uncertain. NEB has “locusts new-sloughed or fully grown”; NASB has “locust or grasshopper”; NIV has “locusts or grasshoppers”; NRSV has “locust, or caterpillar.”

² tn Heb “in the land, his gates.”

³ tn Or “soul.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “Be strong and act!”

¹¹ tn Heb “all Judah.” The words “the men of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” by metonymy for the men of Judah.

¹² tn Heb “turning.”

¹³ tn Heb “went up against.”

¹⁴ tn Heb “him”; the referent (Joash) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹⁵ tn Heb “and the men who were designated by names arose and took the captives and all their naked ones they clothed from the loot.”

²⁴ tc The Hebrew consonantal text (Kethib) assumes the reading, “and the residents of.” The marginal reading (Qere) is “and they returned.”

²⁵ tc This assumes an emendation to עַמּוּדוֹ (’ammudo), see 23:13. The MT reads “at his place.”

²⁶ tn Heb “cut,” that is, “made” or “agreed to.”

²⁷ tn Heb “walk after.”

³⁰ tn Heb “and Josiah supplied for the sons of the people sheep, lambs and sons of goats, the whole for the Passover sacrifices for everyone who was found according to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand cattle. These were from the property of the king.”
