[14:14]  ¹ tn Heb “house.”

[14:14]  ² tn Heb “This is the day. What also now?” The precise meaning of the second half of the statement is uncertain.

[11:16]  ³ tn Heb “and all Israel.”

[11:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “until he had cut off every male in Edom.”

[21:21]  ⁵ tn The introductory formula “the Lord says” is omitted in the Hebrew text, but supplied in the translation for clarification.

[21:21]  ⁶ sn Disaster. There is a wordplay in the Hebrew text. The word translated “disaster” (רָעָה, ra’ah) is similar to the word translated “evil” (v. 20, הָרַע, hara’). Ahab’s sins would receive an appropriate punishment.

[21:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “I will burn after you.” Some take the verb בָּעַר (ba’ar) to mean here “sweep away.” See the discussion of this verb in the notes at 14:10 and 16:3.

[21:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “and I will cut off from Ahab those who urinate against a wall, [including both those who are] restrained and let free [or “abandoned”] in Israel.” The precise meaning of the idiomatic phrase עָצוּר וְעָזוּב (’atsur vÿ’azuv, translated here “weak and incapacitated”) is uncertain. For various options see HALOT 871 s.v. עצר and M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 107. The two terms are usually taken as polar opposites (“slaves and freemen” or “minors and adults”), but Cogan and Tadmor, on the basis of contextual considerations (note the usage with אֶפֶס (’efes), “nothing but”) in Deut 32:36 and 2 Kgs 14:26, argue convincingly that the terms are synonyms, meaning “restrained and abandoned,” and refer to incapable or incapacitated individuals.

[18:4]  ⁹ tn Heb “cutting off.”

[9:7]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “I will cut off Israel from upon the surface of the land.”

[9:7]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and the temple which I consecrated for my name I will send away from before my face.”

[9:7]  sn Instead of “I will send away,” the parallel text in 2 Chr 7:20 has “I will throw away.” The two verbs sound very similar in Hebrew, so the discrepancy is likely due to an oral transmissional error.

[9:7]  ¹² tn Heb “will become a proverb and a taunt,” that is, a proverbial example of destruction and an object of reproach.

[14:10]  ¹³ sn Disaster. There is a wordplay in the Hebrew text. The word translated “disaster” (רָעָה, ra’ah) is from the same root as the expression “you have sinned” in v. 9 (וַתָּרַע [vattara’], from רָעַע, [ra’a’]). Jeroboam’s sins would receive an appropriate punishment.

[14:10]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “house.”

[14:10]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and I will cut off from Jeroboam those who urinate against a wall (including both those who are) restrained and let free (or “abandoned”) in Israel.” The precise meaning of the idiomatic phrase עָצוּר וְעָזוּב (’atsur vÿ’azuv) is uncertain. For various options see HALOT 871 s.v. עצר 6 and M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 107. The two terms are usually taken as polar opposites (“slaves and freemen” or “minors and adults”), but Cogan and Tadmor, on the basis of contextual considerations (note the usage with אֶפֶס [’efes], “nothing but”) in Deut 32:36 and 2 Kgs 14:26, argue convincingly that the terms are synonyms, meaning “restrained and abandoned,” and refer to incapable or incapacitated individuals.

[14:10]  ¹⁶ tn The traditional view understands the verb בָּעַר (ba’ar) to mean “burn.” Manure was sometimes used as fuel (see Ezek 4:12, 15). However, an alternate view takes בָּעַר as a homonym meaning “sweep away” (HALOT 146 s.v. II בער). In this case one might translate, “I will sweep away the dynasty of Jeroboam, just as one sweeps away manure it is gone” (cf. ASV, NASB, TEV). Either metaphor emphasizes the thorough and destructive nature of the coming judgment.

[16:11]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and he did not spare any belonging to him who urinate against a wall, [including] his kinsmen redeemers and his friends.”

[18:5]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “grass.”

[18:5]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “to cut off.”

[13:34]  ²⁰ tn Heb “house.”

[16:7]  ²¹ tn Heb “and also through Jehu son of Hanani the word of the Lord came concerning [or “against”] Baasha and his house, and because of all the evil which he did in the eyes of the Lord.”

[16:7]  ²² tn Heb “angering him by the work of his hands, so that he was like the house of Jeroboam, and because of how he struck it down.”

[9:21]  ²³ tn Heb “their sons who were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel were unable to wipe out, and Solomon raised them up for a crew of labor to this day.”

[16:12]  ²⁴ tn Heb “according to the word of the Lord which he spoke concerning [or “spoke against”]).”

[15:4]  ²⁵ tn Heb “gave him a lamp.”

[15:4]  ²⁶ tc The Old Greek has the plural “his sons.”

[15:4]  ²⁷ tn Heb “by raising up his son after him.”

[15:4]  ²⁸ tn Heb “and by causing Jerusalem to stand firm.”

[20:42]  ²⁹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the prophet) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:42]  ³⁰ tn Heb “Because you sent away the man of my destruction [i.e., that I determined should be destroyed] from [my/your?] hand, your life will be in place of his life, and your people in place of his people.”

[9:20]  ³¹ tn Heb “all the people who were left from the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not from the sons of Israel.”

[15:29]  ³² tn Heb “and when he became king, he struck down all the house of Jeroboam; he did not leave any breath to Jeroboam until he destroyed him.”

[15:29]  ³³ tn Heb “according to the word of the Lord which he spoke.”

[18:13]  ³⁴ tn Heb “Has it not been told to my master what I did…?” The rhetorical question expects an answer, “Of course it has!”
