[4:6]  ¹ tn Heb “to her son.”

[4:30]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity. The referent must be Elisha here, since the following verse makes it clear that Gehazi had gone on ahead of them.

[8:19]  ³ tn The Hebrew has only one sentence, “and the Lord was unwilling to destroy Judah for the sake of.” The translation divides it for the sake of clarity.

[8:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “just as he had promised to give him and his sons a lamp all the days.” The metaphorical “lamp” symbolizes the Davidic dynasty; this is reflected in the translation.

[14:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “he did what was proper in the eyes of the Lord.”

[14:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “according to all which Joash his father had done, he did.”

[24:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “In his days.”

[24:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “came up.” Perhaps an object (“against him”) has been accidentally omitted from the text. See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 306.

[24:1]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew text has “and he turned and rebelled against him.”
