¹tn Heb “to her son.”

²tn Heb “I know.”

³tn Heb “holy man of God.”

³tn Heb “at this appointed time, at the time [when it is] reviving.” For a discussion of the second phrase see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 57.

⁴sn The new moon was a time of sacrifice and special feasts (Num 28:14; 1 Sam 20:5). Apparently it was a convenient time to visit a prophet. See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 57.

⁵tn Heb “peace.”

⁵tn Heb “lead [the donkey on] and go.”

⁶tn Heb “do not restrain for me the riding unless I say to you.”

⁶tn Heb “she said.” The narrator streamlines the story at this point, omitting any reference to Gehazi running to meet her and asking her the questions.
