2 Kings 21:10

21:10 So the Lord announced through ¹⁶  his servants the prophets:

[4:31]  ¹ tn Heb “to meet him.”

[4:40]  ² tn Heb “and they poured out [the stew].” The plural subject is probably indefinite.

[4:43]  ³ tn Heb “How can I set this before a hundred men?”

[12:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “they buried him.”

[14:10]  ⁶ tn Or “you have indeed defeated Edom.”

[14:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “and your heart has lifted you up.”

[14:10]  ⁸ tn Heb “be glorified.”

[14:10]  ⁹ tn Heb “Why get involved in calamity and fall, you and Judah with you?”

It may refer to a spiritual being who will take control of his mind (see 1 Kgs 22:19), or it could refer to a disposition of concern and fear. In either case the Lord’s sovereignty over the king is apparent.

[19:7]  ⁸ tn Heb “hear.”

[19:7]  ⁹ tn Heb “cause him to fall,” that is, “kill him.”

[21:10]  ⁸ tn Heb “spoke by the hand of.”
