2 Kings 15:9

15:9 He did evil in the sight of ¹  the Lord, as his ancestors had done. He did not repudiate ²  the sinful ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat who encouraged Israel to sin.

2 Kings 15:18

15:18 He did evil in the sight of ³  the Lord; he did not repudiate ⁴  the sinful ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat who encouraged Israel to sin. ⁵ 

During his reign,

[15:9]  ¹ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[15:9]  ² tn Heb “turn away from.”

[15:18]  ³ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[15:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “turn away from.”

[15:18]  ⁵ tc The MT of v. 18 ends with the words, “all his days.” If this phrase is taken with what precedes, then one should translate, “[who encouraged Israel to sin] throughout his reign.” However, it may be preferable to emend the text to בְיֹמָיו (bÿyomav), “in his days,” and join the phrase to what follows. The translation assumes this change.
