Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 18 “Hazael’s house” (“the house of Hazael”) refers to the dynasty of Hazael. Hazael took the throne of Aram in 843 b.c. and established a royal dynasty. See 2 Kgs 8:7–15 and W. Pitard, Ancient Damascus, 145–60.
  2. 19 Heb “it”; the referent (the fire mentioned in the previous line) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  3. 20 Ben-hadad may refer to Hazael’s son and successor (2 Kgs 13:3, 24) or to an earlier king (see 1 Kgs 20), perhaps the ruler whom Hazael assassinated when he assumed power.
