¹ tn Heb “and the king of Moab saw that the battle was too strong for him.”

² tn Heb “he took with him seven hundred men, who drew the sword, to break through against.”

³ tn Heb “Jehoiada sent and took.”

⁴ sn The Carians were apparently a bodyguard, probably comprised of foreigners. See HALOT 497 s.v. כָּרִי and M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 126.

⁵ tn Heb “the runners.”

⁶ tn Heb “he brought them to himself.”

⁷ tn Or “covenant.”

⁵ tn Heb “according to all that.”

⁶ tn Heb “came.”

⁷ tn The Hebrew text also has, “and said to them.” This is redundant in English and has not been translated.

⁸ tn Heb “ranks.”

⁹ tn Heb “for the priest had said, ‘Let her not be put to death in the house of the Lord.’”

⁹ tn Heb “the Gate of the Runners of the House of the King.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹¹ tc The MT has the plural form of the verb, but the final vav (ו) is virtually dittographic. The word that immediately follows in the Hebrew text begins with a yod (י). The form should be emended to the singular, which is consistent in number with the verb (“he broke down”) that follows.

¹² tn Heb “came to.”

¹³ tn Heb “four hundred cubits.” The standard cubit in the OT is assumed by most authorities to be about eighteen inches (45 cm) long.

¹³ tn This refers to the Israelites and/or the rest of the Assyrian army.

¹⁴ tn Heb “look, all of them were dead bodies.”
