Commentary -- Verse Notes / Footnotes

NET Notes: 2Ki 19:7

¹ tn Heb “I will put in him a spirit.” The precise sense of רוּחַ (ruakh), “spirit,” is uncertain in this context. It may refer to a spiritual being who will take control of his mind (see 1 Kgs 22:19), or it could refer to a disposition of concern and fear. In either case the Lord’s sovereignty over the king is apparent.

² tn Heb “hear.”

³ tn Heb “cause him to fall,” that is, “kill him.”
