2 Kings 11:9

11:9 The officers of the units of hundreds did just as ¹  Jehoiada the priest ordered. Each of them took his men, those who were on duty during the Sabbath as well as those who were off duty on the Sabbath, and reported ²  to Jehoiada the priest.

2 Kings 19:37

19:37 One day, ³  as he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, ⁴  his sons ⁵  Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword. ⁶  They escaped to the land of Ararat; his son Esarhaddon replaced him as king.

[11:9]  ¹ tn Heb “according to all that.”

[11:9]  ² tn Heb “came.”

[19:37]  ³ sn The assassination probably took place in 681 b.c.

[19:37]  ⁴ sn No such Mesopotamian god is presently known. Perhaps the name is a corruption of Nusku.

[19:37]  ⁵ tc Although “his sons” is absent in the Kethib, it is supported by the Qere, along with many medieval Hebrew mss and the ancient versions. Cf. Isa 37:38.

[19:37]  ⁶ sn Extra-biblical sources also mention the assassination of Sennacherib, though they refer to only one assassin. See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 239-40.
