[3:7]  ¹ tn Heb “went and sent.”

[7:15]  ⁶ tn Or “messengers.”

[7:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “the officer on whose hand he leans.”

[7:17]  ⁸ tn Heb “and the people trampled him in the gate and he died.”

[7:17]  ⁹ tn Heb “just as the man of God had spoken, [the word] which he spoke when the king came down to him.”

[15:25]  sn The precise identity of Argob and Arieh, as well as their relationship to the king, are uncertain. The usual assumption is that they were officials assassinated along with Pekahiah, or that they were two of the more prominent Gileadites involved in the revolt. For discussion see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 173.

[23:11]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “who/which was in the […?].” The meaning of the Hebrew term פַּרְוָרִים (parvarim), translated here “courtyards,” is uncertain.

Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 288-89, who translate “the officer of the precincts.”

[23:11]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and the chariots of the sun he burned with fire.”
