2 Raja-raja 2:16

2:16 They said to him, “Look, there are fifty capable men with your servants. Let them go and look for your master, for the wind sent from the Lord ¹  may have carried him away and dropped him on one of the hills or in one of the valleys.” But Elisha ²  replied, “Don’t send them out.”

2 Raja-raja 8:29

8:29 King Joram returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he received from the Syrians ³  in Ramah when he fought against King Hazael of Syria. King Ahaziah son of Jehoram of Judah went down to visit ⁴  Joram son of Ahab in Jezreel, for he was ill.

2 Raja-raja 22:19

22:19 ‘You displayed a sensitive spirit ⁵  and humbled yourself before the Lord when you heard how I intended to make this place and its residents into an appalling example of an accursed people. ⁶  You tore your clothes and wept before me, and I have heard you,’ says the Lord.

[2:16]  ¹ tn Or “the spirit of the Lord.”

[2:16]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:29]  ³ tn Heb “which the Syrians inflicted [on] him.”

[8:29]  ⁴ tn Heb “to see.”

[22:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “Because your heart was tender.”

[22:19]  ⁶ tn Heb “how I said concerning this place and its residents to become [an object of] horror and [an example of] a curse.” The final phrase (“horror and a curse”) refers to Judah becoming a prime example of an accursed people. In curse formulations they would be held up as a prime example of divine judgment. For an example of such a curse, see Jer 29:22.
