Footnotes

  1. 38 Heb “according to the word of the Lord which he spoke through Elijah.”
  2. 39 Heb “Jehoram replaced him as king … because he had no son.” Some ancient textual witnesses add “his brother,” which was likely added on the basis of the statement later in the verse that Ahaziah had no son.
  3. 40 Heb “As for the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not recorded in the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?”
