¹ tn Heb “to the chamber of the runners.”

² tn Heb “she arose and she destroyed all the royal offspring.” The verb קוּם (qum, “arise”) is here used in an auxiliary sense to indicate that she embarked on a campaign to destroy the royal offspring. See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 125.

³ tn Heb “house of Judah.”

⁴ tn Heb “and Athaliah heard the sound of the people, the runners.”

⁵ tn Heb “she came to the people.”

⁶ tn Heb “and they placed hands on her, and she went through the entrance of the gate of the horses [into] the house of the king.” Some English versions treat the phrase “gate of the horses” as the name of the gate (“the Horse Gate”; e.g., NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).
