[12:10]  ¹ tn Heb “runners” (also in v. 11).

[23:7]  ² tn Heb “house.”

[23:7]  ³ tn Heb “and be with the king in his coming out and in his going out.”

[23:11]  ³ tn The Hebrew word עֵדוּת (’edut) normally means “witness” or “testimony.” Here it probably refers to some tangible symbol of kingship, perhaps a piece of jewelry such as an amulet or neck chain (see the discussion in M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings [AB], 128). Some suggest that a document is in view, perhaps a copy of the royal protocol or of the stipulations of the Davidic covenant (see HALOT 790-91 s.v.).

[23:11]  ⁴ tn Or “they made him king and anointed him.”
