¹ tn Heb “according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.”

⁴ tn Or “pulled down.”

⁵ tn The verb “they demolished” is repeated in the Hebrew text.

⁶ tn Heb “and they made it into.”

⁷ tn The consonantal text (Kethib) has the hapax legomenon מַחֲרָאוֹת (makhara’ot), “places to defecate” or “dung houses” (note the related noun חרא (khr’)/חרי (khri), “dung,” HALOT 348-49 s.v. *חֲרָאִים). The marginal reading (Qere) glosses this, perhaps euphemistically, מוֹצָאוֹת (motsa’ot), “outhouses.”
