Footnotes
- 20 Heb “he”; the referent (Jehoiada) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 21 The Hebrew term עֵדוּת (’edut) normally means “witness” or “testimony.” Here it probably refers to some tangible symbol of kingship, perhaps a piece of jewelry such as an amulet or neck chain. See the discussion in M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (), . Some suggest that a document is in view, perhaps a copy of the royal protocol or of the stipulations of the Davidic covenant. See עֵדוּת.
- 22 Or “they made him king and anointed him.”
- 23 The 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.
- 24 Heb “she came to the people.”
