[4:6]  ¹ tn Heb “to her son.”

[4:9]  ² tn Heb “I know.”

[4:9]  ³ tn Heb “holy man of God.”

[4:16]  ³ tn Heb “at this appointed time, at the time [when it is] reviving.” For a discussion of the second phrase see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 57.

[4:23]  ⁵ tn Heb “peace.”

[4:24]  ⁵ tn Heb “lead [the donkey on] and go.”

[4:24]  ⁶ tn Heb “do not restrain for me the riding unless I say to you.”

[4:26]  ⁶ tn Heb “she said.” The narrator streamlines the story at this point, omitting any reference to Gehazi running to meet her and asking her the questions.
