2 Raja-raja 11:19

11:19 He took the officers of the units of hundreds, the Carians, the royal bodyguard, and all the people of land, and together they led the king down from the Lord’s temple. They entered the royal palace through the Gate of the Royal Bodyguard, ¹  and the king ²  sat down on the royal throne.

2 Raja-raja 22:13

22:13 “Go, seek an oracle from ³  the Lord for me and the people – for all Judah. Find out about ⁴  the words of this scroll that has been discovered. For the Lord’s fury has been ignited against us, ⁵  because our ancestors have not obeyed the words of this scroll by doing all that it instructs us to do.” ⁶ 

[11:19]  ¹ tn Heb “the Gate of the Runners of the House of the King.”

[11:19]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:13]  ³ tn Or “inquire of.”

[22:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “concerning.”

[22:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “for great is the anger of the Lord which has been ignited against us.”

[22:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “by doing all that is written concerning us.” Perhaps עָלֵינוּ (’alenu), “concerning us,” should be altered to עָלָיו (’alav), “upon it,” in which case one could translate, “by doing all that is written in it.”
