8:29 King Joram returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he received from the Syrians ¹  in Ramah when he fought against King Hazael of Syria. King Ahaziah son of Jehoram of Judah went down to visit ²  Joram son of Ahab in Jezreel, for he was ill.

2 Kings 18:14

18:14 King Hezekiah of Judah sent this message to the king of Assyria, who was at Lachish, “I have violated our treaty. ³  If you leave, I will do whatever you demand.” ⁴  So the king of Assyria demanded that King Hezekiah of Judah pay three hundred talents ⁵  of silver and thirty talents of gold.

[8:29]  ¹ tn Heb “which the Syrians inflicted [on] him.”

[8:29]  ² tn Heb “to see.”

[18:14]  ³ tn Or “I have done wrong.”

[18:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “Return from upon me; what you place upon me, I will carry.”

[18:14]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew term כִּכָּר (kikkar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or to a standard unit of weight, generally regarded as a talent. Since the accepted weight for a talent of metal is about 75 pounds, this would have amounted to about 22,500 pounds of silver and 2,250 pounds of gold.
