Footnotes
- 22 Heb “and they came down to him.”
- 23 Or “this nation,” perhaps emphasizing the strength of the Syrian army.
- 24 On the basis of the Akkadian etymology of the word, M. Cogan and H. Tadmor (II Kings [], ) translate “blinding light.” סַנְוֵרִים suggests the glosses “dazzling, deception.”
- 25 Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 26 Heb “according to the word of Elisha.”
