[7:3]  ¹ sn See the note at 2 Kgs 5:1.

[7:3]  ² tn Heb “until we die.”

[11:7]  ¹ tn Verses 5b-7 read literally, “the third of you, the ones entering [on] the Sabbath and the ones guarding the guard of the house of the king, and the third in the gate of Sur, and the third in the gate behind the runners, and you will guard the guard of the house, alternating. And the two units of you, all the ones going out [on] the Sabbath, and they will guard the guard of the house of the Lord for the king.” The precise meaning of this text is impossible to determine. It would appear that the Carians and royal bodyguard were divided into three units. One unit would serve during the Sabbath; the other two would be off duty on the Sabbath. Jehoiada divided the first unit into three groups and assigned them different locations. The two off duty units were assigned the task of guarding the king.

[14:8]  ¹ tn Heb “let us look at each other [in the] face.” The expression refers here to meeting in battle. See v. 11.

[14:11]  ¹ tn Heb “did not listen.”

[14:11]  ² tn Heb “went up.”

[14:11]  ³ tn Heb “looked at each other [in the] face.”
