[6:32]  ¹ tn Heb “your great name.” The word “name” sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor (thus the translation here, “your great reputation”).

[6:32]  ² tn Heb “and your strong hand and your outstretched arm.”

[20:6]  ³ tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 33).

[20:6]  ⁴ tn Heb “are you not God in heaven?” The rhetorical question expects the answer “yes,” resulting in the positive statement “you are the God who lives in heaven” employed in the translation.

[20:25]  ⁵ tn Or “army.”

[20:25]  ⁶ tc The MT reads פְגָרִים (fÿgarim, “corpses”), but this seems odd among a list of plunder. A few medieval Hebrew mss and the Vulgate read בְגָדִים (vÿgadim, “clothing”), which fits the context much better.

[20:25]  ⁷ tn Heb “and they snatched away for themselves so that there was no carrying away.”

[20:25]  ⁸ tn Heb “and they were three days looting the plunder for it was great.”

[22:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Joram) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:6]  ⁸ tn Heb “which the Syrians inflicted [on] him.”

[22:6]  ⁹ tc Most Hebrew mss read “Azariah.” A few Hebrew mss, the LXX, Vulgate, and Syriac read “Ahaziah” (cf. 2 Kgs 8:29).

[22:6]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “because he was sick,” presumably referring to the wounds he received in the battle with the Syrians.
