[5:4]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Naaman) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:21]  ¹ tn Heb “Should I strike them down? I will strike them down.” In the Hebrew text the first person imperfect form is repeated; the first form has the interrogative he prefixed to it; the second does not. It is likely that the second form should be omitted as dittographic or that the first should be emended to an infinitive absolute.

[6:21]  ² tn Heb “my father.” The king addresses the prophet in this way to indicate his respect. See 2 Kgs 2:12.

[10:32]  ¹ tn Heb “began to cut off Israel.”

[10:32]  ² tn Heb “Hazael struck them down in all the territory of Israel, from the Jordan on the east.” In the Hebrew text the phrase “from the Jordan on the east” begins v. 33.

[13:22]  ¹ tn Heb “all the days of Jehoahaz.”

[14:29]  ¹ tn Heb “lay down with his fathers.”

[14:29]  ² tn The MT has simply “with the kings of Israel,” which appears to stand in apposition to the immediately preceding “with his fathers.” But it is likely that the words “and he was buried in Samaria” have been accidentally omitted from the text. See 13:13 and 14:16.

[15:11]  ¹ tn Heb “As for the rest of the events of Jeroboam, look, they are written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel.”

[17:2]  ¹ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[17:22]  ¹ tn Heb “turn away from.”
