2 Kings 19:7

19:7 Look, I will take control of his mind; ⁵  he will receive ⁶  a report and return to his own land. I will cut him down ⁷  with a sword in his own land.”’”

[5:16]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[5:16]  ² tn Heb “before whom I stand.”

[5:16]  ³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Naaman) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “was given.”

[19:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “I will put in him a spirit.” The precise sense of רוּחַ (ruakh), “spirit,” is uncertain in this context. 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.”
