Footnotes

  1. 66 Heb “the man of God.”
  2. 67 Heb “for the word which he cried out by the word of the Lord”
  3. 68 For location see ; ; ; ; .
  4. 69 Heb “Samaria.” The name of Israel’s capital city here stands for the northern kingdom as a whole. Actually Samaria was not built and named until several years after this (see 1 Kgs 16:24), so it is likely that the author of Kings, writing at a later time, is here adapting the old prophet’s original statement.
