[8:41]  ¹ tn Heb “your name.” In the OT the word “name” sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor. The “name” of the Lord sometimes designates the Lord himself, being indistinguishable from the proper name.

[8:63]  ² tn Or “tokens of peace”; NIV, TEV “fellowship offerings.”

[11:16]  ³ tn Heb “and all Israel.”

[11:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “until he had cut off every male in Edom.”

[12:33]  ⁵ tn Heb “which he had chosen by himself.”

[12:33]  ⁶ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jeroboam) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:19]  ⁸ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[16:19]  ⁹ tn Heb “walking in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he did to make Israel sin.”

[20:40]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “so [i.e., in accordance with his testimony] is your judgment, you have determined [it].”

[21:21]  ¹¹ tn The introductory formula “the Lord says” is omitted in the Hebrew text, but supplied in the translation for clarification.

[21:21]  ¹² sn Disaster. There is a wordplay in the Hebrew text. The word translated “disaster” (רָעָה, ra’ah) is similar to the word translated “evil” (v. 20, הָרַע, hara’). Ahab’s sins would receive an appropriate punishment.

[21:21]  ¹³ tn Heb “I will burn after you.” Some take the verb בָּעַר (ba’ar) to mean here “sweep away.” See the discussion of this verb in the notes at 14:10 and 16:3.

[21:21]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and I will cut off from Ahab those who urinate against a wall, [including both those who are] restrained and let free [or “abandoned”] in Israel.” The precise meaning of the idiomatic phrase עָצוּר וְעָזוּב (’atsur vÿ’azuv, translated here “weak and incapacitated”) is uncertain. For various options see HALOT 871 s.v. עצר and M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 107. The two terms are usually taken as polar opposites (“slaves and freemen” or “minors and adults”), but Cogan and Tadmor, on the basis of contextual considerations (note the usage with אֶפֶס (’efes), “nothing but”) in Deut 32:36 and 2 Kgs 14:26, argue convincingly that the terms are synonyms, meaning “restrained and abandoned,” and refer to incapable or incapacitated individuals.

[22:10]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “were sitting, a man on his throne.”
