2 Raja-raja 14:8

14:8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel. He said, “Come, let’s meet face to face.” ⁸ 

[6:5]  ¹ tn Heb “iron.”

[6:5]  ² tn Or “ah.”

[8:23]  ³ tn Heb “As for the rest of the acts of Joram and all which he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?”

[9:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Jehu) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “and they hurried and took, each one his garment, and they placed [them] beneath him on the bone [?] of the steps.” The precise nuance of גֶרֶם (gerem), “bone,” is unclear. Some suggest the nuance “bare” here; it may be a technical architectural term in this context.

[9:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “they blew the trumpet.” This has been translated as a passive to avoid the implication that the same ones who shouted had all blown trumpets.

[9:13]  ⁷ tn Or “has become.”

[14:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “let us look at each other [in the] face.” The expression refers here to meeting in battle. See v. 11.
