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

2 tc The MT reads, “he answered and said to him.” The verb “he answered” (וַיַּעַן, vayya’an) is probably a corruption of “he went up” (וַיַּעַל, vayya’al). See v. 9.

4 tn Heb “man of God” (also in v. 9).

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