25:24 Gedaliah took an oath so as to give them and their troops some assurance of safety. ²  He said, “You don’t need to be afraid to submit to the Babylonian officials. Settle down in the land and submit to the king of Babylon. Then things will go well for you.”

2 Kings 7:12

7:12 The king got up in the night and said to his advisers, ³  “I will tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They know we are starving, so they left the camp and hid in the field, thinking, ‘When they come out of the city, we will capture them alive and enter the city.’”

[18:29]  ¹ tc The MT has “his hand,” but this is due to graphic confusion of vav (ו) and yod (י). The translation reads “my hand,” along with many medieval Hebrew mss, the LXX, Syriac Peshitta, Targum, and Vulgate.

[25:24]  ¹ tn The words “so as to give them…some assurance of safety” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[7:12]  ¹ tn Heb “servants” (also in v. 13).
