2 Kings 7:15

7:15 So they tracked them ¹  as far as the Jordan. The road was filled with clothes and equipment that the Syrians had discarded in their haste. ²  The scouts ³  went back and told the king.

2 Kings 19:14

19:14 Hezekiah took the letter ⁴  from the messengers and read it. ⁵  Then Hezekiah went up to the Lord’s temple and spread it out before the Lord.

[7:15]  ¹ tn Heb “went after.”

[7:15]  ² tn Heb “and look, all the road was full of clothes and equipment that Syria had thrown away in their haste.”

[7:15]  ³ tn Or “messengers.”

[19:14]  ⁴ tc The MT has the plural, “letters,” but the final mem is probably dittographic (note the initial mem on the form that immediately follows). Some Greek and Aramaic witnesses have the singular.

[19:14]  ⁵ tc The MT has the plural suffix, “them,” but this probably reflects a later harmonization to the preceding textual corruption (of “letter” to “letters”). The parallel passage in Isa 37:14 has the singular suffix.
