[3:20]  ² tn Heb “and in the morning, when the offering is offered up, look, water was coming from the way of Edom, and the land was filled with water.”

[7:14]  ³ tn Heb “and the king sent [them] after the Syrian camp.”

[7:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “Go and see.”

[10:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “they were very, very afraid.” The term מְאֹד (me’od) “very,” is repeated for emphasis.

[10:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “did not stand before him.”

[10:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “How can we stand?”

[10:16]  ⁸ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jehu) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:16]  ⁹ tn Heb “and see my zeal for the Lord.”

[14:19]  ¹² tn Heb “and they sent after him to Lachish.”

[18:34]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “that they rescued Samaria from my hand?” But this gives the impression that the gods of Sepharvaim were responsible for protecting Samaria, which is obviously not the case. The implied subject of the plural verb “rescued” must be the generic “gods of the nations/lands” (vv. 33, 35).

[21:4]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “In Jerusalem I will place my name.”

[25:21]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “struck them down and killed them.”
