16:7 At that time Hanani the prophet ¹  visited King Asa of Judah and said to him: “Because you relied on the king of Syria and did not rely on the Lord your God, the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand. 16:8 Did not the Cushites and Libyans have a huge army with chariots and a very large number of horsemen? But when you relied on the Lord, he handed them over to you! 16:9 Certainly ²  the Lord watches the whole earth carefully ³  and is ready to strengthen those who are devoted to him. ⁴  You have acted foolishly in this matter; from now on you will have war.

Paul Rebukes Peter

2:11 But when Cephas ²⁰  came to Antioch, ²¹  I opposed him to his face, because he had clearly done wrong. ²² 

[16:7]  ¹ tn Heb “the seer.”

[16:9]  ² tn Or “for.”

[16:9]  ³ tn Heb “the eyes of the Lord move quickly through all the earth.”

[16:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “to strengthen himself with their heart, [the one] complete toward him.”

[19:2]  ⁵ tn Or “seer.”

[19:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “went out to his face.”

[19:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “and love those who hate the Lord?”

[19:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “and because of this upon you is anger from before the Lord.”

[13:18]  ⁹ tn The words “The Lord told me” are not in the text but are implicit in the shift from second plural pronouns in vv. 15-17 to second singular in the Hebrew text of this verse. These words are supplied in the translation for clarity.

[13:18]  ¹⁰ tn Or “You will come down from your thrones”; Heb “Make low! Sit!” This is a case of a construction where two forms in the same case, mood, or tense are joined in such a way that one (usually the first) is intended as an adverbial or adjectival modifier of the other (a figure called hendiadys). This is also probably a case where the imperative is used to express a distinct assurance or promise. See GKC 324 §110.b and compare the usage in Isa 37:30 and Ps 110:2.

[13:18]  ¹¹ tn Heb “have come down.” The verb here and those in the following verses are further examples of the “as good as done” form of the Hebrew verb (the prophetic perfect).

[13:18]  ¹² tc The translation follows the common emendation of a word normally meaning “place at the head” (מַרְאֲשׁוֹת [mar’ashot] plus pronoun = מַרְאֲוֹשׁתֵיכֶם [mar’aoshtekhem]) to “from your heads” (מֵרָאשֵׁיכֶם, mera’shekhem) following the ancient versions. The meaning “tiara” is nowhere else attested for this word.

[10:18]  ¹³ sn These statements look at persecution both from a Jewish context as the mention of courts and synagogues suggests, and from a Gentile one as the reference to governors and kings suggests. Some fulfillment of Jewish persecution can be seen in Acts.

[10:28]  ¹⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[10:28]  ¹⁵ sn Judaism had a similar exhortation in 4 Macc 13:14-15.

[10:28]  ¹⁶ sn See the note on the word hell in 5:22.

[14:4]  ¹⁷ tn The imperfect tense verb is here rendered with an iterative force.

[14:4]  ¹⁸ sn This marriage of Herod to his brother Philip’s wife was a violation of OT law (Lev 18:16; 20:21). In addition, both Herod Antipas and Herodias had each left marriages to enter into this union.

[1:16]  ¹⁹ tn BDAG 579 s.v. κυριότης 3 suggests “bearers of the ruling powers, dominions” here.

[2:11]  ²⁰ sn Cephas. This individual is generally identified with the Apostle Peter (L&N 93.211).
