[2:9]  1 tn Heb “Ask! What can I do for you….?”

[2:9]  2 tn Heb “May a double portion of your spirit come to me.”

[4:8]  3 tn Heb “great,” perhaps “wealthy.”

[4:8]  4 tn Or “she urged him to eat some food.”

[4:8]  5 tn Or “he would turn aside there to eat some food.”

[5:1]  5 tn Heb “was a great man before his master and lifted up with respect to the face.”

[5:1]  6 tn For a discussion of מְצֹרָע (mÿtsora’), traditionally translated “leprous,” see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 63. Naaman probably had a skin disorder of some type, not leprosy/Hansen’s disease.

[25:25]  7 sn It is not altogether clear whether this is in the same year that Jerusalem fell or not. The wall was breached in the fourth month (= early July; Jer 39:2) and Nebuzaradan came and burned the palace, the temple, and many of the houses and tore down the wall in the fifth month (= early August; Jer 52:12). That would have left time between the fifth month and the seventh month (October) to gather in the harvest of grapes, dates and figs, and olives (Jer 40:12). However, many commentators feel that too much activity takes place in too short a time for this to have been in the same year and posit that it happened the following year or even five years later when a further deportation took place, possibly in retaliation for the murder of Gedaliah and the Babylonian garrison at Mizpah (Jer 52:30). The assassination of Gedaliah had momentous consequences and was commemorated in one of the post exilic fast days lamenting the fall of Jerusalem (Zech 8:19).

[25:25]  8 tn Heb “[was] from the seed of the kingdom.”

[25:25]  9 tn Heb “and they struck down Gedaliah and he died.”
