2 Kings 5:12

5:12 The rivers of Damascus, the Abana and Pharpar, are better than any of the waters of Israel! ³  Could I not wash in them and be healed?” So he turned around and went away angry.

[12:2]  ¹ tn Heb “and Jehoash did what was proper in the eyes of the Lord all his days.”

[12:2]  ² tn Heb “that which.” Jehoiada taught the king the Lord’s will.

[5:12]  ³ tn Heb “Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all of the waters of Israel?” The rhetorical question expects an emphatic “yes” as an answer.
