2 Raja-raja 11:6

11:6 Another third of you will be stationed at the Foundation ³  Gate. Still another third of you will be stationed at the gate behind the royal guard. ⁴  You will take turns guarding the palace. ⁵ 

[3:26]  ¹ tn Heb “and the king of Moab saw that the battle was too strong for him.”

[3:26]  ² tn Heb “he took with him seven hundred men, who drew the sword, to break through against.”

[11:6]  ³ tn Heb “the gate of Sur” (followed by many English versions) but no such gate is mentioned elsewhere in the OT. The parallel account in 2 Chr 23:5 has “Foundation Gate.” סוּר (sur), “Sur,” may be a corruption of יְסוֹד (yÿsod) “foundation,” involving in part dalet-resh confusion.

[11:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “the runners.”

[11:6]  ⁵ tn The meaning of מַסָּח (massakh) is not certain. The translation above, rather than understanding it as a genitive modifying “house,” takes it as an adverb describing how the groups will guard the palace. See HALOT 605 s.v. מַסָּח for the proposed meaning “alternating” (i.e., “in turns”).
