[18:15]  ¹ tn Heb “that was found.”

[22:7]  ² tn Heb “only the silver that is given into their hand should not be reckoned with them, for in faithfulness they are acting.”

[12:10]  ³ tn Heb “the king’s scribe.”

[12:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “went up and tied [it] and counted the silver that was found in the house of the Lord.” The order of the clauses has been rearranged in the translation to make better sense in English, since it seems more logical to count the money before bagging it (cf. NIV, NCV, NRSV, NLT).

[23:35]  ⁴ tn Heb “And the silver and the gold Jehoiakim gave to Pharaoh, but he taxed the land to give the silver at the command of Pharaoh, [from] each according to his tax he collected the silver and the gold, from the people of the land, to give to Pharaoh Necho.”

[12:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “gave.”

[12:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “and they did not conduct a reckoning of the men who gave the silver into their hand to give to the doers of the work, for in honesty they were working.”

[16:8]  ⁶ tn Heb “that was found.”

[16:8]  ⁷ tn Or “bribe money.”

[22:4]  ⁷ tc The MT has וְיַתֵּם (vÿyattem), “and let them add up” (Hiphil of תָּמָם [tammam], “be complete”), but the appearance of הִתִּיכוּ (hitikhu), “they melted down” (Hiphil of נָתַךְ [natakh], “pour out”) in v. 9 suggests that the verb form should be emended to וְיַתֵּךְ (vÿyattekh), “and let him melt down” (a Hiphil of נָתַךְ [natakh]). For a discussion of this and other options see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 281.

[5:26]  ⁸ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:26]  ⁹ tn Heb “Did not my heart go as a man turned from his chariot to meet you?” The rhetorical question emphasizes that he was indeed present in “heart” (or “spirit”) and was very much aware of what Gehazi had done. In the MT the interrogative particle has been accidentally omitted before the negative particle.

[5:26]  ¹⁰ tn In the MT the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question, “Is this the time…?” It expects an emphatic negative response.

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

[12:11]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “would give.”

[12:11]  ¹¹ tn Heb “doers of the work.”

[15:20]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and Menahem brought out the silver over Israel, over the prominent men of means, to give to the king of Assyria, fifty shekels of silver for each man.”

[22:9]  ¹² tn Heb “returned the king a word and said.”

[22:9]  ¹³ tn Heb “that was found in the house.”

[20:13]  ¹³ tc Heb “listened to.” Some Hebrew mss, as well as the LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate versions agree with the parallel passage in Isa 39:2 and read, “was happy with.”

[20:13]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “there was nothing which Hezekiah did not show them in his house and in all his kingdom.”
