tn Heb “Joshua.” The translation has replaced the proper name with the pronoun (“he”) because a repetition of the proper name here would be redundant according to English style.

tn Or “Draw near.”

tn Or “drew near.”

tn This statement is subordinated to v. 1 in the Hebrew text, which reads literally, “When Adoni-Zedek…they feared greatly.” The subject of the plural verb at the beginning of v. 2 is probably the residents of Jerusalem.

tn Heb “in the seeing concerning you falsehood, in divining concerning you a lie.” This probably refers to the attempts of the Ammonites to ward off judgment through prophetic visions and divination.

tn Heb “you”; the referent (the sword mentioned in v. 28) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

sn The second half of the verse appears to state that the sword of judgment would fall upon the wicked, despite their efforts to prevent it.
