[2:17]  ¹ tn Heb “him”; the referent (Elijah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:5]  ² tn Heb “Let the priests take for themselves, each from his treasurer, and let them repair the damage of the temple, with respect to all the damage that is found there.” The word מַכָּר (makar), translated here “treasurer,” occurs only in this passage. Some suggest it means “merchant” or “benefactor.” Its usage in Ugaritic texts, where it appears in a list of temple officials, suggests that it refers in this context to individuals who were in charge of disbursing temple funds.

[16:8]  ³ tn Heb “that was found.”

[16:8]  ⁴ tn Or “bribe money.”

[19:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the chief adviser returned and he found the king of Assyria fighting against Libnah, for he heard that he had departed from Lachish.”
