1 tn Heb “listened.”

2 tn Heb “healed.”

3 tn Heb “and it was heard with their voice.” BDB 1034 s.v. שָׁמַע Niph.4 interprets this to mean “hearing was granted to their voice.” It is possible that the name יְהוָה (yÿhvah, “the Lord”) has been accidentally omitted.

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

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

7 tn Heb “was entreated by him,” or “allowed himself to be entreated by him.”

8 tn Heb “heard.”

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

7 tn Heb “and Ben Hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of the armies which belonged to him against the cities of Israel.”

8 tn Heb “They struck down.”

9 sn In the parallel passage in 1 Kgs 15:20, this city’s name appears as Abel Beth Maacah. These appear to be variant names for the same place.
