¹ tn Heb “and the sons of Israel and Judah.”

² tn Heb “heaps, heaps.” Repetition of the noun draws attention to the large number of heaps.

³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Manasseh) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁴ sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.
