¹ tn Heb “Indeed, can God really live with mankind on the earth?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “Of course not,” the force of which is reflected in the translation “God does not really live with mankind on the earth.”

² tn Heb “stood before.”

³ tn Heb “saying.”

³ tn Heb “[May there be] a covenant between me and you [as there was] between my father and your father.”

⁸ tn Heb “because he was sick,” presumably referring to the wounds he received in the battle with the Syrians.

⁶ tn Heb “though with a small amount of men the army of Aram came, the Lord gave into their hand an army [that was] very large.”
