[2:14]  ¹ tn Heb “Elijah’s cloak, which had fallen off him.” The wording is changed slightly in the translation for the sake of variety of expression (see v. 13).

[2:16]  ² tn Or “the spirit of the Lord.”

[2:16]  ³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:13]  ³ tn Heb “he said to him.”

[4:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “you have turned trembling to us with all this trembling.” The exaggerated language is probably idiomatic. The point seems to be that she has taken great pains or gone out of her way to be kind to them. Her concern was a sign of her respect for the prophetic office.

[4:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “Among my people I am living.” This answer suggests that she has security within the context of her family.

[4:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “went and came.”

[4:25]  ⁵ tn Heb “the man of God.” The phrase has been replaced by the relative pronoun “he” in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[5:6]  ⁵ tn Heb “and now when this letter comes to you, look, I have sent to you Naaman my servant.”

[5:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Naaman) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:15]  ⁷ tn Heb “look.”

[5:20]  ⁷ tn Heb “said” (i.e., to himself).

[5:22]  ¹⁰ tn The Hebrew term כִּכָּר (kikkar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or to a standard unit of weight, generally regarded as a talent. Since the accepted weight for a talent of metal is about 75 pounds, this would have amounted to about 75 pounds of silver (cf. NCV, NLT, CEV).

[7:2]  ⁹ tn Heb “the officer on whose hand the king leans.”

[7:2]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “man of God.”

[7:2]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the Lord was making holes in the sky, could this thing be?” Opening holes in the sky would allow the waters stored up there to pour to the earth and assure a good crop. But, the officer argues, even if this were to happen, it would take a long time to grow and harvest the crop.

[7:2]  ¹² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
