22:6 including craftsmen, builders, and masons, and should buy wood and chiseled stone for the repair work. ²³ 

[4:32]  ¹ tn Heb “look.”

[5:24]  ² tn Heb “from their hand.”

[5:24]  ³ tn Heb “and he sent the men away and they went.”

[9:8]  ³ tc The LXX has the second person, “you.”

[9:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “and I will cut off from Ahab those who urinate against a wall, [including both those who are] restrained and let free [or, ‘abandoned’] in Israel.” On the phrase וְעָצוּר וְעָזוּב (vÿ’atsur vÿ’azur, translated here “weak and incapacitated”) see the note at 1 Kgs 14:10.

[10:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “and he arose and went and came to Samaria.”

[10:27]  ⁵ tn Or “pulled down.”

[10:27]  ⁶ tn The verb “they demolished” is repeated in the Hebrew text.

[10:27]  ⁷ tn Heb “and they made it into.”

[10:27]  ⁸ tn The consonantal text (Kethib) has the hapax legomenon מַחֲרָאוֹת (makhara’ot), “places to defecate” or “dung houses” (note the related noun חרא (khr’)/חרי (khri), “dung,” HALOT 348-49 s.v. *חֲרָאִים). The marginal reading (Qere) glosses this, perhaps euphemistically, מוֹצָאוֹת (motsa’ot), “outhouses.”

[11:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “and he was with her [in] the house of the Lord hiding.”

[11:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “the gate of Sur” (followed by many English versions) but no such gate is mentioned elsewhere in the OT. The parallel account in 2 Chr 23:5 has “Foundation Gate.” סוּר (sur), “Sur,” may be a corruption of יְסוֹד (yÿsod) “foundation,” involving in part dalet-resh confusion.

[11:6]  ⁸ tn Heb “the runners.”

[11:6]  ⁹ tn The meaning of מַסָּח (massakh) is not certain. The translation above, rather than understanding it as a genitive modifying “house,” takes it as an adverb describing how the groups will guard the palace. See HALOT 605 s.v. מַסָּח for the proposed meaning “alternating” (i.e., “in turns”).

[11:13]  ⁸ tc The MT reads, “and Athaliah heard the sound of the runners, the people.” The term הָעָם (ha’am), “the people,” is probably a scribal addition anticipating the reference to the people later in the verse and in v. 14.

[11:13]  ⁹ tn Heb “she came to the people.”

[11:16]  ⁹ tn Heb “and they placed hands on her, and she went the way of the entrance of the horses [into] the house of the king.”

[12:14]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “was given.”

[12:20]  ¹¹ tn Heb “rose up and conspired [with] a conspiracy.”

[12:20]  ¹² tn Heb “Beth Millo which goes down [toward] Silla.”

[19:30]  ¹² tn Heb “The remnant of the house of Judah that is left will add roots below and produce fruit above.”

[21:4]  ¹³ tn Heb “In Jerusalem I will place my name.”

[22:6]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and to buy wood and chiseled stone to repair the house.”
