[14:11]  ¹ tn Heb “called out.”

[14:11]  ² tn Heb “there is not with you to help between many with regard to [the one] without strength.”

[14:11]  ³ tn Heb “and in your name we have come against this multitude.”

[14:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “let not man retain [strength] with you.”

[18:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “to seek the Lord from him.”

[18:7]  ⁶ tn Or “hate.”

[18:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “all his days.”

[18:7]  ⁸ tn The words “his name is” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[25:18]  ⁹ sn The thorn bush in the allegory is Judah. Amaziah’s success had deceived him into thinking he was on the same level as the major powers in the area (symbolized by the cedar). In reality he was not capable of withstanding an attack by a real military power such as Israel (symbolized by the wild animal).
