1 tn Heb “Elijah’s cloak, which had fallen off him.” The wording is changed slightly in the translation for the sake of variety of expression (see v. 13).

2 tn Heb “man of God” (also in vv. 16, 22, 25, 27 [twice]).

3 tn Heb “man of God” (also in v. 9).

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

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

6 tn Heb “and they hurried and took, each one his garment, and they placed [them] beneath him on the bone [?] of the steps.” The precise nuance of גֶרֶם (gerem), “bone,” is unclear. Some suggest the nuance “bare” here; it may be a technical architectural term in this context.

7 tn Heb “they blew the trumpet.” This has been translated as a passive to avoid the implication that the same ones who shouted had all blown trumpets.
