2 Kings 3:24

3:24 When they approached the Israelite camp, the Israelites rose up and struck down the Moabites, who then ran from them. The Israelites ²  thoroughly defeated ³  Moab.

[3:18]  ¹ tn Heb “and this is easy in the eyes of the Lord.”

[3:24]  ² tn Heb “they.”

[3:24]  ³ tc The consonantal text (Kethib) suggests, “and they went, striking down,” but the marginal reading (Qere) is “they struck down, striking down.” For a discussion of the textual problem, see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 46.
