2 Kings 7:13

7:13 One of his advisers replied, “Pick some men and have them take five of the horses that are left in the city. (Even if they are killed, their fate will be no different than that of all the Israelite people – we’re all going to die!) ¹  Let’s send them out so we can know for sure what’s going on.” ² 

2 Kings 10:19

10:19 So now, bring to me all the prophets of Baal, as well as all his servants and priests. ³  None of them must be absent, for I am offering a great sacrifice to Baal. Any of them who fail to appear will lose their lives.” But Jehu was tricking them ⁴  so he could destroy the servants of Baal.

[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.”

[10:19]  ³ tn Heb “and now, all the prophets of Baal, all his servants and all his priests summon to me.”

[10:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “acted with deception [or, ‘trickery’].”
