2 Raja-raja 10:3

10:3 pick the best and most capable ¹  of your master’s sons, place him on his father’s throne, and defend ²  your master’s dynasty.”

2 Raja-raja 20:7

20:7 Isaiah ordered, “Get a fig cake.” So they did as he ordered ³  and placed it on the ulcerated sore, and he recovered. ⁴ 

2 Raja-raja 25:16

25:16 The bronze of the items that King Solomon made for the Lord’s temple – including the two pillars, the big bronze basin called “The Sea,” the twelve bronze bulls under “The Sea,” ⁵  and the movable stands – was too heavy to be weighed.

[10:3]  ¹ tn Hebrew יָשָׁר (yashar) does not have its normal moral/ethical nuance here (“upright”), but a more neutral sense of “proper, right, suitable.” For the gloss “capable,” see HALOT 450 s.v. יָשָׁר.

[10:3]  ² tn Or “fight for.”

[20:7]  ³ tn Heb “and they got [a fig cake].”

[20:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “and he lived.”

[25:16]  ⁵ tc The MT lacks “the twelve bronze bulls under ‘the Sea,’” but these words have probably been accidentally omitted by homoioarcton. The scribe’s eye may have jumped from the וְהָ (vÿha-) on וְהַבָּקָר (vÿhabbaqar), “and the bulls,” to the וְהָ on וְהַמְּכֹנוֹת (vÿhammÿkhonot), “and the movable stands,” causing him to leave out the intervening words. See the parallel passage in Jer 52:20.
