[9:8]  ¹ tc The LXX has the second person, “you.”

[9:8]  ² tn Heb “and I will cut off from Ahab those who urinate against a wall, [including both those who are] restrained and let free [or, ‘abandoned’] in Israel.” On the phrase וְעָצוּר וְעָזוּב (vÿ’atsur vÿ’azur, translated here “weak and incapacitated”) see the note at 1 Kgs 14:10.

[9:9]  ³ tn Heb “house.”

[10:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “and he arose and went and came to Samaria.”

[10:27]  ⁷ tn Or “pulled down.”

[10:27]  ⁸ tn The verb “they demolished” is repeated in the Hebrew text.

[10:27]  ⁹ tn Heb “and they made it into.”

[10:27]  ¹⁰ tn The consonantal text (Kethib) has the hapax legomenon מַחֲרָאוֹת (makhara’ot), “places to defecate” or “dung houses” (note the related noun חרא (khr’)/חרי (khri), “dung,” HALOT 348-49 s.v. *חֲרָאִים). The marginal reading (Qere) glosses this, perhaps euphemistically, מוֹצָאוֹת (motsa’ot), “outhouses.”

[11:3]  ⁹ tn Heb “and he was with her [in] the house of the Lord hiding.”

[11:13]  ¹¹ tc The MT reads, “and Athaliah heard the sound of the runners, the people.” The term הָעָם (ha’am), “the people,” is probably a scribal addition anticipating the reference to the people later in the verse and in v. 14.

[11:13]  ¹² tn Heb “she came to the people.”

[11:16]  ¹³ tn Heb “and they placed hands on her, and she went the way of the entrance of the horses [into] the house of the king.”
