[4:15]  ¹ tn Heb “Call for her.”

[4:15]  ² tn Heb “and he called her.”

[4:15]  ³ tn Heb “and he called for her and she stood in the door.”

[4:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “Call for this Shunammite woman.”

[4:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “and he called for her and she stood before him.”

[23:16]  ⁷ tn Heb “and he sent and took the bones from the tombs.”

[23:16]  ⁸ tn Heb “the king”; this has been specified as “King Josiah” in the translation for clarity (cf. TEV, CEV, NLT).

[23:16]  ⁹ tc The MT is much shorter than this. It reads, “according to the word of the Lord which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.” The LXX has a much longer text at this point. It reads: “[which was proclaimed by the man of God] while Jeroboam stood by the altar at a celebration. Then he turned and saw the grave of the man of God [who proclaimed these words].” The extra material attested in the LXX was probably accidentally omitted in the Hebrew tradition when a scribe’s eye jumped from the first occurrence of the phrase “man of God” (which appears right before the extra material) and the second occurrence of the phrase (which appears at the end of the extra material).

[3:10]  ¹⁰ tn Or “ah.”

[4:36]  ¹³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[4:36]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and he called for her.”

[9:1]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “one of the sons of the prophets.”

[9:1]  ¹⁷ tn Or “flask.”

[3:13]  ¹⁹ tn Or “What do we have in common?” The text reads literally, “What to me and to you?”

[8:1]  ²² tn Heb “Get up and go, you and your house, and live temporarily where you can live temporarily.”

[22:16]  ²⁵ tn Heb “all the words of the scroll which the king of Judah has read.”
