² tn Heb “terror of you has fallen upon us.”

⁵ tn Heb “and that the smoke of the city ascended.”

⁹ 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.
