[16:7]  ¹ tn Heb “the seer.”

[1:17]  ² tn Heb “and they brought up and brought out from Egypt a chariot for 600 silver (pieces), and a horse for 150, and in the same way to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of Aram by their hand they brought out.”

[20:2]  ³ tn Heb “they”; the implied referent (messengers) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “the Sea”; in context (“from the direction of Edom”) this must refer to the Dead Sea, which has been specified in the translation for clarity (cf. NEB, NLT).

[20:2]  ⁵ tc Most Hebrew mss read “from Aram” (i.e., Syria), but this must be a corruption of “Edom,” which is the reading of the LXX and Vulgate.

[18:30]  ⁴ tn Heb “small or great.”

[22:5]  ⁵ sn Jehoram and Joram are alternate spellings of the Israelite king’s name (also in vv. 6-7). The shorter form is used in these verse to avoid confusion with King Jehoram of Judah, father of Azariah.

[22:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “Aram” (also in v. 6).

[22:6]  ⁶ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Joram) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “which the Syrians inflicted [on] him.”

[22:6]  ⁸ tc Most Hebrew mss read “Azariah.” A few Hebrew mss, the LXX, Vulgate, and Syriac read “Ahaziah” (cf. 2 Kgs 8:29).

[22:6]  ⁹ tn Heb “because he was sick,” presumably referring to the wounds he received in the battle with the Syrians.

[24:23]  ⁷ tn Heb “turning.”

[24:23]  ⁸ tn Heb “went up against.”

[24:23]  ⁹ tn Heb “him”; the referent (Joash) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:24]  ⁸ tn Heb “though with a small amount of men the army of Aram came, the Lord gave into their hand an army [that was] very large.”

[24:24]  ⁹ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the people of Judah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:24]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Syrians) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:24]  ¹¹ tn Heb “executed judgments [on] Joash.”

[28:5]  ⁹ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Syrians) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[28:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and took captive from him a great captivity and brought [them] to Damascus.”

[28:5]  ¹¹ tn Heb “who struck him down with a great striking.”

[28:23]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the gods of Damascus, the ones who had defeated him.” The words “he thought” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The perspective is that of Ahaz, not the narrator! Another option is that “the kings” has been accidentally omitted after “gods of.” See v. 23b.

[28:23]  ¹¹ tn Heb “said.”
