NET Notes

¹tn Heb “To your master and to you did my master send me to speak these words?” The rhetorical question expects a negative answer.

²tn Heb “[Is it] not [also] to the men…?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “Yes, it is.”

²sn The chief adviser alludes to the horrible reality of siege warfare, when the starving people in the besieged city would resort to eating and drinking anything to stay alive.
