[2:16] 2 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[4:13] 3 tn Heb “he said to him.”
[4:13] 4 tn Heb “you have turned trembling to us with all this trembling.” The exaggerated language is probably idiomatic. The point seems to be that she has taken great pains or gone out of her way to be kind to them. Her concern was a sign of her respect for the prophetic office.
[4:13] 5 tn Heb “Among my people I am living.” This answer suggests that she has security within the context of her family.
[5:7] 6 tn Heb “Am I God, killing and restoring life, that this one sends to me to cure a man from his skin disease?” In the Hebrew text this is one lengthy rhetorical question, which has been divided up in the translation for stylistic reasons.
[5:7] 7 tn Heb “Indeed, know and see that he is seeking an occasion with respect to me.”
[5:20] 8 tn Heb “said” (i.e., to himself).
[5:20] 9 tn Heb “Look, my master spared this Syrian Naaman by not taking from his hand what he brought.”
[5:22] 11 tn Heb “Look now, here, two servants came to me from the Ephraimite hill country, from the sons of the prophets.”
[5:22] 12 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 75 pounds of silver (cf. NCV, NLT, CEV).
[7:13] 13 tn Heb “Let them take five of the remaining horses that remain in it. Look, they are like all the people of Israel that remain in it. Look, they are like all the people of Israel that have come to an end.” The MT is dittographic here; the words “that remain in it. Look they are like all the people of Israel” have been accidentally repeated. The original text read, “Let them take five of the remaining horses that remain in it. Look, they are like all the people of Israel that have come to an end.”

[7:19] tn In the Hebrew text vv. 18-19a are one lengthy sentence, “When the man of God spoke to the king…, the officer replied to the man of God, ‘Look…so soon?’” The translation divides this sentence up for stylistic reasons.
[17:26] 18 tn Heb “and they said to the king of Assyria, saying.” The plural subject of the verb is indefinite.
