[8:15]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Hazael) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:15]  ² tn Heb “his”; the referent (Ben Hadad) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:22]  ³ tn Heb “and Edom rebelled from under the hand of Judah until this day.”

[8:24]  ⁵ tn Heb “lay down with his fathers.”

[9:13]  ⁷ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Jehu) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:13]  ⁸ tn Heb “and they hurried and took, each one his garment, and they placed [them] beneath him on the bone [?] of the steps.” The precise nuance of גֶרֶם (gerem), “bone,” is unclear. Some suggest the nuance “bare” here; it may be a technical architectural term in this context.

[9:13]  ⁹ tn Heb “they blew the trumpet.” This has been translated as a passive to avoid the implication that the same ones who shouted had all blown trumpets.

[9:13]  ¹⁰ tn Or “has become.”

[13:5]  ⁹ sn The identity of this unnamed “deliverer” is debated. For options see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 143.

[13:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and they went from under the hand of Syria.”

[13:5]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and the sons of Israel lived in their tents as before.”

[14:16]  ¹¹ tn Heb “lay down with his fathers.”

[14:27]  ¹³ tn Heb “name.”

[14:27]  ¹⁴ tn The phrase “from under heaven” adds emphasis to the verb “blot out” and suggest total annihilation. For other examples of the verb מָחָה (makhah), “blot out,” combined with “from under heaven,” see Exod 17:14; Deut 9:14; 25:19; 29:20.

[15:7]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “lay down with his fathers.”

[15:7]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and they buried him.”

[15:14]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and came to.”

[15:14]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “went up from Tirzah and arrived in Samaria and attacked Shallum son of Jabesh in Samaria.”

[15:30]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and struck him down and killed him.”

[15:38]  ²¹ tn Heb “lay down with his fathers.”

[16:20]  ²³ tn Heb “lay down with his fathers.”

[21:18]  ²⁵ tn Heb “lay down with his fathers.”

[21:24]  ²⁷ tn Heb “the people of the land.” The pronoun “they” has been used in the translation for stylistic reasons, to avoid the repetition of the phrase “the people of the land” from the beginning of the verse.

[22:17]  ²⁹ tn Or “burned incense.”

[22:17]  ³⁰ tn Heb “angering me with all the work of their hands.” The translation assumes that this refers to idols they have manufactured (note the preceding reference to “other gods,” as well as 19:18). However, it is possible that this is a general reference to their sinful practices, in which case one might translate, “angering me by all the things they do.”
