[13:32]  ² map For location see Map4 G4; Map5 C1; Map6 E3; Map7 D1; Map8 G3.

[13:32]  ³ tn Heb “Samaria.” The name of Israel’s capital city here stands for the northern kingdom as a whole. Actually Samaria was not built and named until several years after this (see 1 Kgs 16:24), so it is likely that the author of Kings, writing at a later time, is here adapting the old prophet’s original statement.

[13:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “by the word of the Lord.”

[13:2]  ⁵ sn ‘Look…you.’ For the fulfillment of this prophecy see 2 Kgs 23:15-20.
