2 Kings 9:26

9:26 ‘“Know for sure that I saw the shed blood of Naboth and his sons yesterday,” says the Lord, “and that I will give you what you deserve right here in this plot of land,” ¹  says the Lord.’ So now pick him up and throw him into this plot of land, just as the Lord said.” ² 

2 Kings 19:37

19:37 One day, ³  as he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, ⁴  his sons ⁵  Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him down with the sword. ⁶  They escaped to the land of Ararat; his son Esarhaddon replaced him as king.

[9:26]  ¹ tn Heb “and I will repay you in this plot of land.”

[9:26]  ² tn Heb “according to the word of the Lord.”

[19:37]  ³ sn The assassination probably took place in 681 b.c.

[19:37]  ⁴ sn No such Mesopotamian god is presently known. Perhaps the name is a corruption of Nusku.

[19:37]  ⁵ tc Although “his sons” is absent in the Kethib, it is supported by the Qere, along with many medieval Hebrew mss and the ancient versions. Cf. Isa 37:38.

[19:37]  ⁶ sn Extra-biblical sources also mention the assassination of Sennacherib, though they refer to only one assassin. See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 239-40.
