7:10 So they went and called out to the gatekeepers ⁸  of the city. They told them, “We entered the Syrian camp and there was no one there. We didn’t even hear a man’s voice. ⁹  But the horses and donkeys are still tied up, and the tents remain up.” ¹⁰

2 Raja-raja 10:6

10:6 He wrote them a second letter, saying, “If you are really on my side and are willing to obey me, ²¹  then take the heads of your master’s sons and come to me in Jezreel at this time tomorrow.” ²²  Now the king had seventy sons, and the prominent ²³  men of the city were raising them.

[11:13]  ¹ tc The MT reads, “and Athaliah heard the sound of the runners, the people.” The term הָעָם (ha’am), “the people,” is probably a scribal addition anticipating the reference to the people later in the verse and in v. 14.

[11:13]  ² tn Heb “she came to the people.”

[18:28]  ³ tn The Hebrew text also has, “and he spoke and said.”

[19:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “have you raised a voice.”

[19:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “and lifted your eyes on high?”

[19:22]  ⁶ sn This divine title pictures the Lord as the sovereign king who rules over his covenant people and exercises moral authority over them.

[4:31]  ⁷ tn Heb “to meet him.”

[7:10]  ⁸ tn The MT has a singular form (“gatekeeper”), but the context suggests a plural. The pronoun that follows (“them”) is plural and a plural noun appears in v. 11. The Syriac Peshitta and the Targum have the plural here.

[7:10]  ⁹ tn Heb “and, look, there was no man or voice of a man there.”

[7:10]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “but the horses are tied up and the donkeys are tied up and the tents are as they were.”

[18:12]  ¹¹ tn Heb “listen to the voice of.”

[18:12]  ¹² tn Heb “his covenant.”

[18:12]  ¹³ tn Heb “all that Moses, the Lord’s servant, had commanded, and they did not listen and they did not act.”

[6:32]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and the elders were sitting with him.”

[6:32]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:32]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “sent a man from before him, before the messenger came to him.”

[6:32]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:32]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “elders.”

[6:32]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “Do you see that this son of an assassin has sent to remove my head?”

[6:32]  ²⁰ tn Heb “Is not the sound of his master’s footsteps behind him?”

[10:6]  ²¹ tn Heb “If you are mine and you are listening to my voice.”

[10:6]  ²² sn Jehu’s command is intentionally vague. Does he mean that they should bring the guardians (those who are “heads” over Ahab’s sons) for a meeting, or does he mean that they should bring the literal heads of Ahab’s sons with them? (So LXX, Syriac Peshitta, and some mss of the Targum) The city leaders interpret his words in the literal sense, but Jehu’s command is so ambiguous he is able to deny complicity in the executions (see v. 9).

[10:6]  ²³ tn Heb “great,” probably in wealth, position, and prestige.
