2 Kings 7:17

7:17 Now the king had placed the officer who was his right-hand man ¹  at the city gate. When the people rushed out, they trampled him to death in the gate. ²  This fulfilled the prophet’s word which he had spoken when the king tried to arrest him. ³ 

2 Kings 14:13

14:13 King Jehoash of Israel captured King Amaziah of Judah, son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, in Beth Shemesh. He ⁴  attacked ⁵  Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate – a distance of about six hundred feet. ⁶ 

[7:17]  ¹ tn Heb “the officer on whose hand he leans.”

[7:17]  ² tn Heb “and the people trampled him in the gate and he died.”

[7:17]  ³ tn Heb “just as the man of God had spoken, [the word] which he spoke when the king came down to him.”

[14:13]  ⁴ tc The MT has the plural form of the verb, but the final vav (ו) is virtually dittographic. The word that immediately follows in the Hebrew text begins with a yod (י). The form should be emended to the singular, which is consistent in number with the verb (“he broke down”) that follows.

[14:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “came to.”

[14:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “four hundred cubits.” The standard cubit in the OT is assumed by most authorities to be about eighteen inches (45 cm) long.
