[5:10]  ¹ sn Horeb is another name for Mount Sinai (cf. Exod 3:1).

[5:10]  ² tn Heb “in Horeb where.”

[8:2]  ³ tn Heb “Huram” (also in v. 18). Some medieval Hebrew mss, along with the LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate spell the name “Hiram,” agreeing with 1 Chr 14:1. “Huram” is a variant spelling referring to the same individual.

[8:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “from their sons who were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel did not wipe out, and Solomon raised them up for a work crew to this day.”

[8:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “and from the sons of Israel which Solomon did not assign to the laborers for his work.”

[8:9]  ⁸ tn Heb “officers of his chariots and his horses.”

[20:22]  ⁹ tn Heb “set ambushers against.” This is probably idiomatic here for launching a surprise attack.

[20:22]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir.”

[20:23]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the sons of Ammon and Moab stood against the residents of Mount Seir.”

[20:23]  ¹² tn Heb “to annihilate and to destroy.”

[20:23]  ¹³ tn Heb “residents.”

[20:23]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “they helped, each one his fellow, for destruction.” The verb עָזַר (’azar), traditionally understood as the well-attested verb meaning “to help,” is an odd fit in this context. It is possible that it is from a homonymic root, perhaps meaning to “attack.” This root is attested in Ugaritic in a nominal form meaning “young man, warrior, hero.” For a discussion of the proposed root, see HALOT 811 s.v. II עזר.

[25:11]  ¹³ tn Heb “and Amaziah strengthened himself and led his people and went to the Valley of Salt.”

[25:11]  ¹⁴ tn Or “struck down.”

[25:11]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “sons of Seir.”

[25:12]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “sons.”

[25:12]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and threw them from the top of the cliff.”

[25:12]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “all of them.”

[25:12]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “smashed in pieces.”

[28:3]  ¹⁷ sn This may refer to child sacrifice, though some interpret it as a less drastic cultic practice (NEB “burnt his sons in the fire”; NASB “burned his sons in the fire”; NIV “sacrificed his sons in the fire”; NRSV “made his sons pass through fire”). For discussion see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 266-67.

[28:3]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “like the abominable practices of the nations.”

[28:6]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 9, 25).

[28:8]  ²¹ tn Heb “the loot.” The pronoun (“it”) has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy.

[28:10]  ²³ tn Heb “saying.”

[28:10]  ²⁴ tn Heb “to enslave as male servants and female servants.”

[28:10]  ²⁵ tn Heb “sons.”

[29:11]  ²⁵ tn Heb “to stand before him to serve him and to be his servants and sacrificers.”

[31:5]  ²⁷ tn Heb “and when the word spread out.”

[31:5]  ²⁸ tn Heb “the sons of Israel multiplied.”

[33:9]  ²⁹ tn Heb “misled Judah.” The words “the people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” here by metonymy for the people of Judah.
