2 Raja-raja 9:12

9:12 But they said, “You’re lying! Tell us what he said.” So he told them what he had said. He also related how he had said, ¹  “This is what the Lord says, ‘I have designated you as king over Israel.’”

2 Raja-raja 22:5

22:5 Have them hand it over to the construction foremen ²  assigned to the Lord’s temple. They in turn should pay the temple workers to repair it, ³ 

[9:12]  ¹ tn Heb “So he said, ‘Like this and like this he said to me, saying.’” The words “like this and like this” are probably not a direct quote of Jehu’s words to his colleagues. Rather this is the narrator’s way of avoiding repetition and indicating that Jehu repeated, or at least summarized, what the prophet had said to him.

[22:5]  ² tn Heb “doers of the work.”

[22:5]  ³ tn Heb “and let them give it to the doers of the work who are in the house of the Lord to repair the damages to the house.”
