[6:14]  ¹ tn Heb “heavy force.”

[7:14]  ¹ tn Heb “and the king sent [them] after the Syrian camp.”

[7:14]  ² tn Heb “Go and see.”

[9:33]  ¹ tn The words “when she hit the ground” are added for stylistic reasons.

[9:33]  ² tn Heb “and he trampled her.”

[11:16]  ¹ 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.”

[14:20]  ¹ tn Heb “and they carried him on horses.”

[3:7]  ¹ tn Heb “went and sent.”

[3:7]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jehoshaphat) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:7]  ³ tn Heb “I will go up – like me, like you; like my people, like your people; like my horses; like your horses.”

[2:11]  ¹ tn Though the noun is singular here, it may be collective, in which case it could be translated “chariots.”

[2:11]  ² tn Heb “look, a chariot of fire and horses of fire.”

[2:11]  ³ tn Heb “and they made a division between the two of them.”

[10:2]  ¹ tn Heb “And now when this letter comes to you – with you are the sons of your master and with you are chariots and horses and a fortified city and weapons.”

[18:23]  ¹ tn Heb “exchange pledges.”

[6:15]  ¹ tn Heb “man of God’s.”

[6:15]  ² tn Heb “his young servant said to him.”

[6:17]  ¹ tn Heb “and he saw, and look.”

[7:10]  ¹ tn The MT has a singular form (“gatekeeper”), but the context suggests a plural. The pronoun that follows (“them”) is plural and a plural noun appears in v. 11. The Syriac Peshitta and the Targum have the plural here.

[7:10]  ² tn Heb “and, look, there was no man or voice of a man there.”

[7:10]  ³ tn Heb “but the horses are tied up and the donkeys are tied up and the tents are as they were.”

[7:13]  ¹ tn Heb “Let them take five of the remaining horses that remain in it. Look, they are like all the people of Israel that remain in it. Look, they are like all the people of Israel that have come to an end.” The MT is dittographic here; the words “that remain in it. Look they are like all the people of Israel” have been accidentally repeated. The original text read, “Let them take five of the remaining horses that remain in it. Look, they are like all the people of Israel that have come to an end.”

[7:13]  ² tn Heb “and let us send so we might see.”

[9:18]  ¹ tn Heb “the rider of the horse.”

[9:18]  ² tn Heb “Is there peace?”

[9:18]  ³ tn Heb “What concerning you and concerning peace?” That is, “What concern is that to you?”

[9:19]  ¹ tn Heb “and he came to them.”

[9:19]  ² tc The MT has simply “peace,” omitting the prefixed interrogative particle. It is likely that the particle has been accidentally omitted; several ancient witnesses include it or assume its presence.

[23:11]  ¹ tn The MT simply reads “the horses.” The words “statues of” have been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[23:11]  ² tn Heb “who/which was in the […?].” The meaning of the Hebrew term פַּרְוָרִים (parvarim), translated here “courtyards,” is uncertain. The relative clause may indicate where the room was located or explain who Nathan Melech was, “the eunuch who was in the courtyards.” See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 288-89, who translate “the officer of the precincts.”

[23:11]  ³ tn Heb “and the chariots of the sun he burned with fire.”
