2 Raja-raja 3:23

3:23 The Moabites ¹  said, “It’s blood! The kings are totally destroyed! ²  They have struck one another down! Now, Moab, seize the plunder!”

2 Raja-raja 7:16

7:16 Then the people went out and looted the Syrian camp. A seah ³  of finely milled flour sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, just as the Lord had said they would. ⁴ 

[3:23]  ¹ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Moabites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:23]  ² tn The translation assumes the verb is חָרַב (kharav, “to be desolate”). The infinitive absolute precedes the finite verb form for emphasis. (For another example of the Hophal infinitive with a Niphal finite verb, see Lev 19:20. Cf. also IBHS 582 §35.2.1c.) Some prefer to derive the verb from a proposed homonym meaning “at HALOT 349 s.v. II חרב and BDB 352 s.v. חָרְבָה).

[7:16]  ³ sn A seah was a dry measure equivalent to about 7 quarts.

[7:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “according to the word of the Lord.”
