[4:10]  ² 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]  ³ tn Heb “and let’s put there for him.”

[6:31]  ⁴ tn Heb “So may God do to me, and so may he add.”

[6:31]  ⁵ tn Heb “if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat stays on him today.”

[8:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “and the woman got up and did according to the word of the man of God.”

[8:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “man of God’s.”

[8:23]  ⁸ tn Heb “As for the rest of the acts of Joram and all which he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?”

[8:27]  ⁹ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[8:27]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and he walked in the way of the house of Ahab and did evil in the eyes of the Lord like the house of Ahab, for he was a relative by marriage of the house of Ahab.” For this use of חֲתַן (khatan), normally “son-in-law,” see HALOT 365 s.v. חָתָן. Ahab was Ahaziah’s grandfather on his mother’s side.

[10:34]  ¹¹ tn Heb “As for the rest of the events of Jehu, and all which he did and all his strength, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?”

[15:18]  ²³ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[15:18]  ²⁴ tn Heb “turn away from.”

[15:18]  ²⁵ tc The MT of v. 18 ends with the words, “all his days.” If this phrase is taken with what precedes, then one should translate, “[who encouraged Israel to sin] throughout his reign.” However, it may be preferable to emend the text to בְיֹמָיו (bÿyomav), “in his days,” and join the phrase to what follows. The translation assumes this change.

[15:21]  ²⁶ tn Heb “As for the rest of the events of Menahem, and all which he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?”

[15:24]  ²⁷ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[16:19]  ³⁶ tn Heb “As for the rest of the events of Ahaz, and that which he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?”

[17:8]  ³⁸ tn Heb “and [the practices of] the kings of Israel which they did.”

[17:11]  ³⁹ tn Heb “and they did evil things, angering the Lord.”

[17:17]  ⁴⁰ sn See the note at 2 Kgs 16:3.

[17:17]  ⁴¹ tn Heb “they sold themselves to doing what was evil in the eyes of the Lord, angering him.”

[17:19]  ⁴² tn Heb “they walked in the practices of Israel which they did.”

[17:31]  ⁴³ sn Nibhaz and Tartak were two Elamite deities. See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 212.

[17:31]  ⁴⁴ sn Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of the Sepharvaim are unknown in extra-biblical literature. See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 212.

[19:11]  ⁴⁵ tn Heb “Look, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, annihilating them.”

[19:11]  ⁴⁶ tn Heb “and will you be rescued?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “No, of course not!”

[19:25]  ⁴⁷ tn Having quoted the Assyrian king’s arrogant words in vv. 23-24, the Lord now speaks to the king.

[19:25]  ⁴⁸ 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]  ⁴⁹ tn Heb “formed.”

[19:25]  ⁵⁰ 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.

[20:3]  ⁵¹ tn Heb “walked before you.” For a helpful discussion of the background and meaning of this Hebrew idiom, see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 254.

[20:3]  ⁵² tn Heb “and with a complete heart.”

[21:25]  ⁵⁸ tc Heb “As for the rest of the things of Amon which he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?” Many Hebrew mss have וְכָל (vÿcol), “and all,” before אֲשֶׁר (’asher). In this case we can translate, “As for the rest of the events of Amon’s reign, and all his accomplishments,….”

[22:2]  ⁵⁹ tn Heb “he did what was proper in the eyes of the Lord.”

[22:2]  ⁶⁰ tn Heb “and walked in all the way of David his father.”

[23:22]  ⁶¹ tn The Hebrew text has simply “because.” The translation attempts to reflect more clearly the logical connection between the king’s order and the narrator’s observation. Another option is to interpret כִּי (ki) as asseverative and translate, “indeed.”

[23:22]  ⁶² tn Heb “because there had not been observed [one] like this Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel and all the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah.”

[23:28]  ⁶³ tn Heb “As for the rest of the events of Josiah, and all which he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?”

[24:3]  ⁶⁴ tn Heb “Certainly according to the word of the Lord this happened against Judah, to remove [them] from his face because of the sins of Manasseh according to all which he did.”

[24:5]  ⁶⁵ tn Heb “As for the rest of the events of Jehoiakim, and all which he did, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?”

[24:16]  ⁶⁶ tn Heb “the entire [group], mighty men, doers of war.”

[25:16]  ⁶⁷ 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.
