[8:5] 1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Gehazi) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[8:5] 2 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[8:5] 3 tn Heb “and look, the woman whose son he had brought back to life was crying out to the king for her house and her field.”

[14:13] 7 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] 9 tn Heb “four hundred cubits.” The standard cubit in the OT is assumed by most authorities to be about eighteen inches (45 cm) long.
