2 Raja-raja 4:39

4:39 Someone went out to the field to gather some herbs and found a wild vine. ¹  He picked some of its fruit, ²  enough to fill up the fold of his robe. He came back, cut it up, and threw the slices ³  into the stew pot, not knowing they were harmful. ⁴ 

2 Raja-raja 5:23

5:23 Naaman said, “Please accept two talents of silver. ⁵  He insisted, and tied up two talents of silver in two bags, along with two suits of clothes. He gave them to two of his servants and they carried them for Gehazi. ⁶ 

2 Raja-raja 13:21

13:21 One day some men ⁷  were burying a man when they spotted ⁸  a raiding party. So they threw the dead man ⁹  into Elisha’s tomb. When the body ¹⁰  touched Elisha’s bones, the dead man ¹¹  came to life and stood on his feet.

[4:39]  ¹ tn Heb “a vine of the field.”

[4:39]  ² tn Heb “[some] of the gourds of the field.”

[4:39]  ³ tn Heb “he came and cut [them up].”

[4:39]  ⁴ tc The Hebrew text reads, “for they did not know” (יָדָעוּ, yada’u) but some emend the final shureq (וּ, indicating a third plural subject) to holem vav (וֹ, a third masculine singular pronominal suffix on a third singular verb) and read “for he did not know it.” Perhaps it is best to omit the final vav as dittographic (note the vav at the beginning of the next verb form) and read simply, “for he did not know.” See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 59.

[5:23]  ⁵ tn Heb “Be resolved and accept two talents.”

[5:23]  ⁶ tn Heb “before him.”

[13:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “and it so happened [that] they.”

[13:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “and look, they saw.”

[13:21]  ⁹ tn Heb “the man”; the adjective “dead” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[13:21]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the man.”

[13:21]  ¹¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the dead man) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Otherwise the reader might think it was Elisha rather than the unnamed dead man who came back to life.
