[4:10]  ¹ tn Heb “a small upper room of a wall”; according to HALOT 832 s.v. עֲלִיָּה, this refers to “a fully walled upper room.”

[4:10]  ² tn Heb “and let’s put there for him.”

[5:5]  ³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Naaman) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:5]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew term כִּכָּר (kikkar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or to a standard unit of weight, generally regarded as a talent. Since the accepted weight for a talent of metal is about 75 pounds, this would have amounted to about 750 pounds of silver (cf. NCV, NLT, CEV).

[5:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “six thousand gold […].” The unit of measure is not given in the Hebrew text. A number of English versions supply “pieces” (e.g., KJV, ASV, NAB, TEV) or “shekels” (e.g., NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[6:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “man of God’s.”

[6:15]  ⁷ tn Heb “his young servant said to him.”

[20:13]  ⁹ tn Heb “there was nothing which Hezekiah did not show them in his house and in all his kingdom.”
