Footnotes

  1. 10 Heb “I will put in him a spirit.” The precise sense of רוּחַ (ruakh), “spirit,” is uncertain in this context. It may refer to a spiritual being who will take control of his mind (see 1 Kgs 22:19), or it could refer to a disposition of concern and fear. In either case the Lord’s sovereignty over the king is apparent.
  2. 11 Heb “hear.”
  3. 12 Heb “cause him to fall,” that is, “kill him.”
