[6:4]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text reads, “fulfilled by his hand,” but the phrase “by his hand” is somewhat redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[6:4]  ² tn The Hebrew text reads, “promised by his mouth,” but the phrase “by his mouth” is somewhat redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[6:26]  ³ tn Heb “when.” In the Hebrew text vv. 26-27a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided into two sentences for stylistic reasons.

[6:26]  ⁴ tn Or “heavens” (also in v. 12). The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[6:26]  ⁵ tn Heb “they.”

[6:26]  ⁶ tn Heb “confess [or perhaps, “praise”] your name.”

[6:26]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew text reads “because you answer them,” as if the verb is from עָנָה (’anah, “answer”). However, this reference to a divine answer is premature, since the next verse asks for God to intervene in mercy. It is better to revocalize the consonantal text as תְעַנֵּם (tÿ’annem, “you afflict them”), a Piel verb form from the homonym עָנָה (“afflict”).

[6:34]  ⁸ tn Heb “When your people go out for battle against their enemies in the way which you send them.”

[6:34]  ⁹ tn Heb “toward this city which you have chosen and the house which I built for your name.”

[8:14]  ¹² tn Heb “and the gatekeepers by their divisions for a gate and a gate.”

[8:14]  ¹³ tn Heb “for so [was] the command of David the man of God.”

[12:7]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying.”

[12:7]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and I will give to them soon deliverance.”

[12:7]  ¹⁶ tn Or “gush forth upon.”

[12:7]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “by the hand of.”

[18:33]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “now a man drew a bow in his innocence” (i.e., with no specific target in mind, or at least without realizing his target was the king of Israel).

[18:33]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:33]  ²⁰ tn Heb “camp.”

[23:11]  ²¹ tn The Hebrew word עֵדוּת (’edut) normally means “witness” or “testimony.” Here it probably refers to some tangible symbol of kingship, perhaps a piece of jewelry such as an amulet or neck chain (see the discussion in M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings [AB], 128). Some suggest that a document is in view, perhaps a copy of the royal protocol or of the stipulations of the Davidic covenant (see HALOT 790-91 s.v.).
