tn Heb “the spirit of the Philistines.”

tn Heb “in his intestines with an illness [for which] there was no healer.”

tn Heb “and it was to days from days, and about the time of the going out of the end for the days, two, his intestines came out with his illness and he died in severe illness.”

tn Heb “and his people did not make for him a fire, like the fire of his fathers.”

tn Heb “he”; the referent (Joram) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

tn Heb “which the Syrians inflicted [on] him.”

tc Most Hebrew mss read “Azariah.” A few Hebrew mss, the LXX, Vulgate, and Syriac read “Ahaziah” (cf. 2 Kgs 8:29).

tn Heb “because he was sick,” presumably referring to the wounds he received in the battle with the Syrians.
