NET Notes

¹tn Heb “and they came down to him.”

²tn Or “this nation,” perhaps emphasizing the strength of the Syrian army.

³tn On the basis of the Akkadian etymology of the word, M. Cogan and H. Tadmor (II Kings [AB], 74) translate “blinding light.” HALOT 761 s.v. סַנְוֵרִים suggests the glosses “dazzling, deception.”

⁴tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵tn Heb “according to the word of Elisha.”
