[1:13]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:13]  ² tn Heb “went up and approached and kneeled.”

[4:42]  ³ tn Heb “man of God.”

[4:42]  ⁴ tn On the meaning of the word צִקְלוֹן (tsiqlon), “ear of grain,” see HALOT 148 s.v. בָּצֵק and M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 59.

[4:42]  ⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:23]  ⁶ tn Heb “Be resolved and accept two talents.”

[5:23]  ⁷ tn Heb “before him.”

[10:25]  ⁸ tn Heb “runners.”

[10:25]  ⁹ tn Heb “and they threw.” No object appears. According to M. Cogan and H. Tadmor (II Kings [AB], 116), this is an idiom for leaving a corpse unburied.

[10:25]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and they came to the city of the house of Baal.” It seems unlikely that a literal city is meant. Some emend עִיר (’ir), “city,” to דְּבִיר (dÿvir) “holy place,” or suggest that עִיר is due to dittography of the immediately preceding עַד (’ad) “to.” Perhaps עִיר is here a technical term meaning “fortress” or, more likely, “inner room.”

[11:9]  ¹¹ tn Heb “according to all that.”

[11:9]  ¹² tn Heb “came.”
