[6:33]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text also has “look” here.

[6:33]  ² tn Heb “came down to him.”

[6:33]  ³ tn Heb “Look, this is a disaster from the Lord.”

[7:1]  ⁴ sn A seah was a dry measure equivalent to about 7 quarts.

[11:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “and Jehoiada made a covenant between the Lord and [between] the king and [between] the people, to become a people for the Lord, and between the king and [between] the people.” The final words of the verse (“and between the king and [between] the people”) are probably accidentally repeated from earlier in the verse. They do not appear in the parallel account in 2 Chr 23:16. If retained, they probably point to an agreement governing how the king and people should relate to one another.

[13:4]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “appeased the face of the Lord.”

[13:4]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and the Lord heard.”

[13:4]  ¹² tn Heb “for he saw the oppression of Israel, for the king of Syria oppressed them.”

[17:11]  ¹³ tn Heb “and they did evil things, angering the Lord.”

[17:25]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “in the beginning of their living there.”

[17:25]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “fear.”

[18:25]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “Go.”

[18:25]  ²⁰ sn In v. 25 the chief adviser develops further the argument begun in v. 22. He claims that Hezekiah has offended the Lord and that the Lord has commissioned Assyria as his instrument of discipline and judgment.

[19:16]  ²² tn Heb “Hear the words of Sennacherib which he sent to taunt the living God.”
