1 tn Heb “spoke by the hand of.”
2 tn Heb “the remnant of my inheritance.” In this context the Lord’s remnant is the tribe of Judah, which had been preserved when the Assyrians conquered and deported the northern tribes. See 17:18 and M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 269.
3 tn Heb “they will become plunder and spoils of war for all their enemies.”
3 tn Heb “obey my commandments and rules according to all the law which I commanded your fathers and which I sent to you by the hand of my servants the prophets.”
4 tn Or “ah.”
5 tn Heb “and the anger of the Lord burned against.”
6 tn Heb “he gave them into the hand of.”
7 tn Heb “all the days.”
6 tn Heb “name.”
7 tn The phrase “from under heaven” adds emphasis to the verb “blot out” and suggest total annihilation. For other examples of the verb מָחָה (makhah), “blot out,” combined with “from under heaven,” see Exod 17:14; Deut 9:14; 25:19; 29:20.
7 tn Or “afflicted.”
8 tn Or “What do we have in common?” The text reads literally, “What to me and to you?”
9 tn Heb “It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of his servant, Elijah the Tishbite, saying.”
10 tn Heb “Know then that there has not fallen from the word of the Lord to the ground that which the Lord spoke against the house of Ahab. The Lord has done that which he spoke by the hand of his servant Elijah.”
11 tn The phrases “in the north” and “in the south” are added in the translation for clarification.

15 tc The consonantal text (Kethib) has בְּרֶכֶב (bÿrekhev), but this must be dittographic (note the following רִכְבִּי [rikhbi], “my chariots”).

16 tn Heb “the lodging place of its extremity.”
15 tn Heb “he sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by the hand of his servants the prophets.”
