¹ tn Heb “Indeed, can God really live with mankind on the earth?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “Of course not,” the force of which is reflected in the translation “God does not really live with mankind on the earth.”

² tn Heb “turn to.”

³ tn Heb “by listening to.”

⁴ tn Heb “the loud cry and the prayer.”

⁵ tn Heb “praying before you.”

⁶ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 31, 38).

⁸ tn Heb “I will establish the throne of your kingdom.”

⁹ tn Heb “there will not be cut off from you a man ruling over Israel.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “and Amaziah separated them, the troops who came to him from Ephraim, to go to their place.”

¹¹ tn Heb “did not listen.”
