[4:20]  ¹ tn Heb “knees.”

[4:32]  ² tn Heb “look.”

[11:16]  ³ tn Heb “and they placed hands on her, and she went the way of the entrance of the horses [into] the house of the king.”

[13:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “and they buried him.”

[13:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “entered.”

[13:20]  ⁶ tc The MT reading בָּא שָׁנָה (ba’ shanah), “it came, year,” should probably be emended to בְּבָּא הַשָּׁנָה (bÿba’ hashanah), “at the coming [i.e., ‘beginning’] of the year.” See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 148.

[14:19]  ⁷ tn Heb “and they conspired against him [with] a conspiracy in Jerusalem.”

[14:19]  ⁸ tn Heb “and they sent after him to Lachish.”

[15:10]  ⁹ tc The MT reads, “and he struck him down before the people and killed him” (cf. KJV, ASV, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). However, the reading קָבָל עָם (qaval ’am), “before the people,” is problematic to some because קָבָל is a relatively late Aramaic term. Nevertheless, the Aramaic term qobel certainly antedates the writing of Kings. The bigger problem seems to be the unnecessary intrusion of an Aramaic word at all here. Most interpreters prefer to follow Lucian’s Greek version and read “in Ibleam” (בְיִבְלְעָם, bÿivle’am). Cf. NAB, TEV.

[25:21]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “struck them down and killed them.”

[25:21]  ¹¹ tn Heb “land.”
