[12:12] 1 tn Heb “and for all that which was going out concerning the house for repair.”
[22:6] 2 tn Heb “and to buy wood and chiseled stone to repair the house.”
[19:18] 3 tn Heb “and they put their gods in the fire.”
[19:18] 4 tn Heb “so they destroyed them.”
[3:25] 5 tn Heb “and [on] every good portion they were throwing each man his stone and they filled it.” The vav + perfect (“and they filled”) here indicates customary action contemporary with the situation described in the preceding main clause (where a customary imperfect is used, “they were throwing”). See the note at 3:4.
[3:25] 6 tn Heb “until he had allowed its stones to remain in Kir Hareseth.”
[3:19] 7 tn Heb “choice” or “select.”
[3:19] 8 tn Elisha places the object first and uses an imperfect verb form. The stylistic shift may signal that he is now instructing them what to do, rather than merely predicting what would happen.
[3:19] 10 tn Heb “and ruin every good portion with stones.”
[16:17] 11 sn See the note at 1 Kgs 7:23.
[16:17] 12 tn Heb “that [were] under it.”
[12:11] 13 tn Heb “would give.”
[12:11] 14 tn Heb “doers of the work.”

[19:25] 17 tn Having quoted the Assyrian king’s arrogant words in vv. 23-24, the Lord now speaks to the king.
[19:25] 18 tn Heb “Have you not heard?” The rhetorical question expresses the Lord’s amazement that anyone might be ignorant of what he is about to say.
[19:25] 20 tn Heb “and it is to cause to crash into heaps of ruins fortified cities.” The subject of the third feminine singular verb תְּהִי (tÿhi) is the implied plan, referred to in the preceding lines with third feminine singular pronominal suffixes.

[23:15] 22 tn Heb “And also the altar that is in Bethel, the high place that Jeroboam son of Nebat who encouraged Israel to sin, also that altar and the high place he tore down.” The more repetitive Hebrew text is emphatic.
[23:15] 23 tn Heb “he burned the high place, crushing to dust, and he burned the Asherah pole.” High places per se are never referred to as being burned elsewhere. בָּמָה (bamah) here stands by metonymy for the combustible items located on the high place. See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 289.
[4:10] 24 tn Heb “a small upper room of a wall”; according to HALOT 832 s.v. עֲלִיָּה, this refers to “a fully walled upper room.”
[4:10] 25 tn Heb “and let’s put there for him.”
[25:4] 26 tn Heb “the city was breached.”

[25:4] 28 sn The king’s garden is mentioned again in Neh 3:15 in conjunction with the pool of Siloam and the stairs that go down from the city of David. This would have been in the southern part of the city near the Tyropean Valley which agrees with the reference to the “two walls” which were probably the walls on the eastern and western hills.
[25:4] 29 sn Heb “toward the Arabah.” The Arabah was the rift valley north and south of the Dead Sea. Here the intention was undoubtedly to escape across the Jordan to Moab or Ammon. It appears from Jer 40:14; 41:15 that the Ammonites were known to harbor fugitives from the Babylonians.
