¹ tn Heb “and they carried him on horses.”

² tn Heb “fathers.”

³ tc The Hebrew text has “Judah,” but some medieval mss read “David,” as does the parallel passage in 2 Kgs 14:20.

sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.

⁴ tn The parallel account in 2 Kgs 15:1-8 has the variant spelling “Azariah.”
