Amon’s Reign

33:21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned for two years in Jerusalem. ²¹  33:22 He did evil in the sight of ²²  the Lord, just like his father Manasseh had done. He offered sacrifices to all the idols his father Manasseh had made, and worshiped ²³  them. 33:23 He did not humble himself before the Lord as his father Manasseh had done. ²⁴  Amon was guilty of great sin. ²⁵  33:24 His servants conspired against him and killed him in his palace. 33:25 The people of the land executed all who had conspired against King Amon, and they ²⁶  made his son Josiah king in his place.

[12:13]  ¹ tn Heb “and the king, Rehoboam, strengthened himself in Jerusalem and ruled.”

[12:13]  ² tn Heb “Rehoboam.” The recurrence of the proper name here is redundant in terms of contemporary English style, so the pronoun has been used in the translation instead.

[12:13]  ³ tn Heb “the city where the Lord chose to place his name from all the tribes of Israel.”

[12:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “his”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:1]  ⁵ tc The Hebrew text has “Ammonites,” but they are mentioned just before this. Most translations, following some mss of the LXX, read “Meunites” (see 1 Chr 26:7; so NASB, NIV, NRSV).

[20:10]  ⁶ tn Heb “now, look, the sons of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir.”

[20:10]  ⁷ tn Heb “whom you did not allow Israel to enter when they came from the land of Egypt.”

[20:22]  ⁸ tn Heb “set ambushers against.” This is probably idiomatic here for launching a surprise attack.

[20:22]  ⁹ tn Heb “the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir.”

[20:23]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the sons of Ammon and Moab stood against the residents of Mount Seir.”

[20:23]  ¹¹ tn Heb “to annihilate and to destroy.”

[20:23]  ¹² tn Heb “residents.”

[20:23]  ¹³ tn Heb “they helped, each one his fellow, for destruction.” The verb עָזַר (’azar), traditionally understood as the well-attested verb meaning “to help,” is an odd fit in this context. It is possible that it is from a homonymic root, perhaps meaning to “attack.” This root is attested in Ugaritic in a nominal form meaning “young man, warrior, hero.” For a discussion of the proposed root, see HALOT 811 s.v. II עזר.

[26:8]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and his name went to.”

[27:5]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “he fought with.”

[27:5]  ¹⁶ tn The Hebrew word כִּכַּר (kikar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or, by extension, to a standard unit of weight. According to the older (Babylonian) standard the “talent” weighed 130 lbs. (58.9 kg), but later this was lowered to 108.3 lbs. (49.1 kg). More recent research suggests the “light” standard talent was 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg). Using this as the standard for calculation, the weight of the silver was 6,730 lbs. (3,060 kg).

[27:5]  ¹⁷ sn As a unit of dry measure a kor was roughly equivalent to six bushels (about 220 liters).

[27:5]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “10,000 kors of wheat and 10,000 of barley.” The unit of measure of the barley is omitted in the Hebrew text, but is understood to be “kors,” the same as the measures of wheat.

[27:5]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “This the sons of Ammon brought to him, and in the second year and the third.”

[33:20]  ²⁰ tn Heb “lay down with his fathers.”

[33:22]  ²³ tn Or “served.”

[33:23]  ²⁴ tn Heb “as Manasseh his father had humbled himself.”

[33:23]  ²⁵ tn Heb “for he, Amon, multiplied guilt.”
