[15:37]  ¹ tn Heb “the Lord began to send against Judah Rezin…and Pekahiah….”

[16:5]  ² tn Heb “went up to Jerusalem for battle.”

[16:5]  ³ tn That is, Jerusalem, Ahaz’s capital city.

[16:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “they were unable to fight.” The object must be supplied from the preceding sentence. Elsewhere when the Niphal infinitive of לָחָם (lakham) follows the verb יָכֹל (yakhol), the infinitive appears to have the force of “prevail against.” See Num 22:11; 1 Sam 17:9; and the parallel passage in Isa 7:1.

[16:9]  ³ tn Heb “listened to him.”

[16:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “the king of Assyria.”
