2 Raja-raja 9:3

2 Raja-raja 9:12

2 Raja-raja 21:11

21:11 “King Manasseh of Judah has committed horrible sins. ⁸  He has sinned more than the Amorites before him and has encouraged Judah to sin by worshiping his disgusting idols. ⁹ 

[3:14]  ¹ tn Traditionally “the Lord of hosts.”

[3:14]  ² tn Heb “before whom I stand.”

[3:14]  ³ tn Heb “if I did not lift up the face of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah.”

[3:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “I would not look at you or see you.”

[9:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “anointed.”

[9:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “and open the door and run away and do not delay.”

[9:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “So he said, ‘Like this and like this he said to me, saying.’” The words “like this and like this” are probably not a direct quote of Jehu’s words to his colleagues. Rather this is the narrator’s way of avoiding repetition and indicating that Jehu repeated, or at least summarized, what the prophet had said to him.

[21:11]  ⁸ tn Heb “these horrible sins.”

[21:11]  ⁹ sn See the note at 1 Kgs 15:12.
