1 tn The cohortative with prefixed vav (ו) following the imperative here indicates purpose/result.
2 tn Heb “so I may go out before this nation and come in.” The expression “go out…and come in” here means “to lead” (see HALOT 425 s.v. יצא qal.4).
3 tn Heb “for.” The word “otherwise” is used to reflect the logical sense of the statement.
4 tn Heb “who is able?” The rhetorical question anticipates the answer, “no one.”
5 tn Heb “to judge.”
6 tn Heb “these numerous people of yours.”
7 tn The Hebrew text adds here, “in the inner sanctuary,” but the description at this point is of the pillars, not the inner sanctuary.
8 tn Heb “nothing like it had been made for any kingdom.”
9 tn Heb “the sons of Ammon and Moab stood against the residents of Mount Seir.”
10 tn Heb “to annihilate and to destroy.”
11 tn Heb “residents.”
12 tn Heb “they helped, each one his fellow, for destruction.” The verb עָזַר (’azar), traditionally understood as the well-attested verb meaning “to help,” is an odd fit in this context. It is possible that it is from a homonymic root, perhaps meaning to “attack.” This root is attested in Ugaritic in a nominal form meaning “young man, warrior, hero.” For a discussion of the proposed root, see HALOT 811 s.v. II עזר.
13 tc Heb “forty-two,” but the parallel passage in 2 Kgs 8:26 reads “twenty-two” along with some mss of the LXX and the Syriac.
14 tn The Hebrew term בַּת (bat, “daughter”) can refer, as here, to a granddaughter. See HALOT 165-66 s.v. I בַּת 1.
15 tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 9, 25).
