1 tn Heb “they could not be seen outside.”
2 tn Or “if.”
3 tn Or “heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.
4 tn Heb “the land,” which stands here by metonymy for the vegetation growing in it.
5 tn Heb “because this turn of events was from God.”
6 tn Heb “so that the Lord might bring to pass his word which he spoke.”
7 tn Heb “the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying.”
8 tn Heb “and I will give to them soon deliverance.”
9 tn Or “gush forth upon.”
10 tn Heb “by the hand of.”
11 tn Heb “and Judah turned, and, look, to them [was] the battle in front and behind.”
12 tn Heb “[May there be] a covenant between me and you [as there was] between my father and your father.”
13 tn Heb “so he will go up from upon me.”
14 tn Heb “Should we go against Ramoth Gilead for war or should I refrain?”
15 tn Though Jehoshaphat had requested an oracle from “the Lord” (יְהוָה, yÿhvah, “Yahweh”), the Israelite prophets stop short of actually using this name and substitute the title הָאֱלֹהִים (ha’elohim, “the God”). This ambiguity may explain in part Jehoshaphat’s hesitancy and caution (vv. 7-8). He seems to doubt that the 400 are genuine prophets of the Lord.
16 tn The Hebrew verbal forms could be imperatives (“Disguise yourself and enter”), but this would make no sense in light of the immediately following context. The forms are better interpreted as infinitives absolute functioning as cohortatives (see IBHS 594 §35.5.2a). Some prefer to emend the forms to imperfects.
17 tn Or “army.”
18 tc The MT reads פְגָרִים (fÿgarim, “corpses”), but this seems odd among a list of plunder. A few medieval Hebrew mss and the Vulgate read בְגָדִים (vÿgadim, “clothing”), which fits the context much better.
19 tn Heb “and they snatched away for themselves so that there was no carrying away.”
20 tn Heb “and they were three days looting the plunder for it was great.”
21 tn Heb “for there.”
22 sn The name Berachah, which means “blessing” in Hebrew, is derived from the verbal root “to praise [or “to bless”],” which appears earlier in the verse.
23 tn Heb “and Edom rebelled from under the hand of Judah until this day.”
24 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.
25 tn Heb “he.” This pronoun could refer to Judah, but the context focuses on Jehoram’s misdeeds. See especially v. 11.
26 tn Heb “and it was to days from days, and about the time of the going out of the end for the days, two, his intestines came out with his illness and he died in severe illness.”
27 tn Heb “and his people did not make for him a fire, like the fire of his fathers.”

32 tn Heb “men from.”

36 tn Or “seer.”

38 tn Heb “don’t stiffen your neck” (a Hebrew idiom for being stubborn).
39 tn Heb “give a hand.” On the meaning of the idiom here, see HALOT 387 s.v. I יָד 2.
40 tn Heb “so that the rage of his anger might turn from you.” The jussive with vav conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the preceding imperative.
41 tn Heb “and when the envoys of the officials of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire concerning the sign which was in the land, [arrived].”
42 tn Heb “to know all [that was] in his heart.”
43 tn Heb “misled Judah.” The words “the people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” here by metonymy for the people of Judah.
44 tn Heb “and they seized him with hooks.”
