NET Notes

¹tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²tn Heb “on the steps which [the sun] had gone down, on the steps of Ahaz, back ten steps.”

²sn These steps probably functioned as a type of sundial. See HALOT 614 s.v. מַעֲלָה and M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 256.
