¹ tn Heb “all the people who were left from the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not from the sons of Israel.”

² tn Or “a fleet” (in which case “ships” would be implied).

³ tc The Old Greek translation has “a conspiracy” rather than “male cultic prostitutes.”

⁴ tn Heb “they did according to all the abominable acts of the nations.”

⁵ tn The word used here, גִלּוּלִים [gillulim], is always used as a disdainful reference to idols. It is generally thought to have originally referred to “dung pellets” (cf. KBL 183 s.v. גִלּוּלִים). It is only one of several terms used in this way, such as “worthless things” (אֱלִילִים, ’elilim), “vanities” or “empty winds” (הֲבָלִים, havalim).

⁶ tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 24).

⁷ tn Heb “and he built up Ramah so as to not permit going out or coming in to Asa king of Judah.”
