¹ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Jehoram) has been specified in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

² tn Heb “in his days Edom rebelled from under the hand of Judah and enthroned a king over them.”

³ tn Heb “and Edom rebelled from under the hand of Judah until this day.”

⁴ tn Or “from Jehoram’s control”; Heb “from under his hand.” The pronominal suffix may refer to Judah in general or, more specifically, to Jehoram.
