[9:13]  ¹ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Jehu) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:13]  ² tn Heb “and they hurried and took, each one his garment, and they placed [them] beneath him on the bone [?] of the steps.” The precise nuance of גֶרֶם (gerem), “bone,” is unclear. Some suggest the nuance “bare” here; it may be a technical architectural term in this context.

[9:13]  ³ tn Heb “they blew the trumpet.” This has been translated as a passive to avoid the implication that the same ones who shouted had all blown trumpets.

[9:13]  ⁴ tn Or “has become.”

[11:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “and she saw, and look.”

[11:14]  ⁶ tn Or “conspiracy, conspiracy.”
