¹ tn Heb “yet the heart of Asa was complete all his days.”

² tn Heb “Did not he, Hezekiah, eliminate…?” This rhetorical question presupposes a positive reply (“yes, he did”) and so has been translated here as a positive statement.

³ tn Heb “his”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ tn Heb “and he said to break into them for himself.”

⁶ tn Heb “for all the older [ones] the raiding party that came with the Arabs to the camp had killed.”

⁷ tc Heb “forty-two,” but the parallel passage in 2 Kgs 8:26 reads “twenty-two” along with some mss of the LXX and the Syriac.

⁸ tn The Hebrew term בַּת (bat, “daughter”) can refer, as here, to a granddaughter. See HALOT 165-66 s.v. I בַּת 1.
