2 Kings 15:12

2 Kings 25:3

25:3 By the ninth day of the fourth month ⁴  the famine in the city was so severe the residents ⁵  had no food.

¹ tn Heb “It was the word of the Lord which he spoke to Jehu, saying.”

² tn “sons of four generations will sit for you on the throne of Israel.”

³ tn Heb “and it was so.”

⁴ tn The MT has simply “of the month,” but the parallel passage in Jer 52:6 has “fourth month,” and this is followed by almost all English translations. The word “fourth,” however, is not actually present in the MT of 2 Kgs 25:3.

⁵ tn Heb “the people of the land.”
