[2:23]  ² tn The word נַעַר (na’ar), here translated “boy,” can refer to a broad age range, including infants as well as young men. But the qualifying term “young” (or “small”) suggests these youths were relatively young. The phrase in question (“young boy”) occurs elsewhere in 1 Sam 20:35; 1 Kgs 3:7 (used by Solomon in an hyperbolic manner); 11:17; 2 Kgs 5:14; and Isa 11:6.

[5:10]  ³ tn Heb “will return to you.”

[14:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “the sons of the pledges.”

[16:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “went up to Jerusalem for battle.”

[16:5]  ⁷ tn That is, Jerusalem, Ahaz’s capital city.

[16:5]  ⁸ tn Heb “they were unable to fight.” The object must be supplied from the preceding sentence. Elsewhere when the Niphal infinitive of לָחָם (lakham) follows the verb יָכֹל (yakhol), the infinitive appears to have the force of “prevail against.” See Num 22:11; 1 Sam 17:9; and the parallel passage in Isa 7:1.

[19:7]  ⁹ tn Heb “I will put in him a spirit.” The precise sense of רוּחַ (ruakh), “spirit,” is uncertain in this context. It may refer to a spiritual being who will take control of his mind (see 1 Kgs 22:19), or it could refer to a disposition of concern and fear. In either case the Lord’s sovereignty over the king is apparent.

[19:7]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “hear.”

[19:7]  ¹¹ tn Heb “cause him to fall,” that is, “kill him.”

[19:9]  ¹² tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:9]  ¹³ tn Heb “heard concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, ‘Look, he has come out to fight with you.’”

[20:17]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “days are.”
