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

² tn Heb “and see my zeal for the Lord.”

³ tc The MT has a plural form, but this is most likely an error. The LXX, Syriac Peshitta, and Vulgate all have the singular.

⁴ tn Heb “But Jehu was not careful to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart.”

⁵ tn Heb “He did not turn aside from the sins of Jeroboam which he caused Israel to commit.”
