7:9 Then they said to one another, “It’s not right what we’re doing! This is a day to celebrate, but we haven’t told anyone. ⁴  If we wait until dawn, ⁵  we’ll be punished. ⁶  So come on, let’s go and inform the royal palace.”

2 Raja-raja 10:5

[7:9]  ⁵ tn Heb “the light of the morning.”

[7:9]  ⁶ tn Heb “punishment will find us.”

[10:5]  ⁸ tn Heb “the one who was over the city.”

[10:5]  ⁹ tn Or “elders.”

[10:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “servants.”

[10:5]  ¹¹ tn Heb “Do what is good in your eyes.”
