2 Kings 12:9

12:9 Jehoiada the priest took a chest and drilled a hole in its lid. He placed it on the right side of the altar near the entrance of ¹  the Lord’s temple. The priests who guarded the entrance would put into it all the silver brought to the Lord’s temple.

2 Kings 16:11

16:11 Uriah the priest built an altar in conformity to the plans King Ahaz had sent from Damascus. ²  Uriah the priest finished it before King Ahaz arrived back from Damascus. ³ 

2 Kings 18:22

18:22 Perhaps you will tell me, ‘We are trusting in the Lord our God.’ But Hezekiah is the one who eliminated his high places and altars and then told the people of Judah and Jerusalem, ‘You must worship at this altar in Jerusalem.’

2 Kings 23:16-17

23:16 When Josiah turned around, he saw the tombs there on the hill. So he ordered the bones from the tombs to be brought; ⁴  he burned them on the altar and defiled it. This fulfilled the Lord’s announcement made by the prophet while Jeroboam stood by the altar during a festival. King Josiah ⁵  turned and saw the grave of the prophet who had foretold this. ⁶  23:17 He asked, “What is this grave marker I see?” The men from the city replied, “It’s the grave of the prophet ⁷  who came from Judah and foretold these very things you have done to the altar of Bethel.”

[12:9]  ¹ tn Heb “on the right side of the altar as a man enters.”

[16:11]  ² tn Heb “according to all that King Ahaz sent from Damascus.”

[16:11]  ³ tn Heb “so Uriah the priest did, until the arrival of King Ahaz from Damascus.”

[23:16]  ³ tn Heb “and he sent and took the bones from the tombs.”

[23:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “the king”; this has been specified as “King Josiah” in the translation for clarity (cf. TEV, CEV, NLT).

[23:16]  ⁵ tc The MT is much shorter than this. It reads, “according to the word of the Lord which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.” The LXX has a much longer text at this point. It reads: “[which was proclaimed by the man of God] while Jeroboam stood by the altar at a celebration. Then he turned and saw the grave of the man of God [who proclaimed these words].” The extra material attested in the LXX was probably accidentally omitted in the Hebrew tradition when a scribe’s eye jumped from the first occurrence of the phrase “man of God” (which appears right before the extra material) and the second occurrence of the phrase (which appears at the end of the extra material).

[23:17]  ⁴ tn Heb “man of God.”
