2 Raja-raja 9:27

9:27 When King Ahaziah of Judah saw what happened, he took off ¹  up the road to Beth Haggan. Jehu chased him and ordered, “Shoot him too.” They shot him while he was driving his chariot up the ascent of Gur near Ibleam. ²  He fled to Megiddo ³  and died there.

2 Raja-raja 23:24

23:24 Josiah also got rid of ⁵  the ritual pits used to conjure up spirits, ⁶  the magicians, personal idols, disgusting images, ⁷  and all the detestable idols that had appeared in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem. In this way he carried out the terms of the law ⁸  recorded on the scroll that Hilkiah the priest had discovered in the Lord’s temple.

[9:27]  ¹ tn Heb “and Ahaziah king of Judah saw and fled.”

[9:27]  ² tn After Jehu’s order (“kill him too”), the MT has simply, “to the chariot in the ascent of Gur which is near Ibleam.” The main verb in the clause, “they shot him” (וַיִּכְהוּ, vayyikhhu), has been accidentally omitted by virtual haplography/homoioteleuton. Note that the immediately preceding form הַכֻּהוּ (hakkuhu), “shoot him,” ends with the same suffix.
