2 Kings 3:18

3:18 This is an easy task for the Lord; 1  he will also hand Moab over to you.

2 Kings 3:24

3:24 When they approached the Israelite camp, the Israelites rose up and struck down the Moabites, who then ran from them. The Israelites 2  thoroughly defeated 3  Moab.

1 tn Heb “and this is easy in the eyes of the Lord.”

2 tn Heb “they.”

3 tc The consonantal text (Kethib) suggests, “and they went, striking down,” but the marginal reading (Qere) is “they struck down, striking down.” For a discussion of the textual problem, see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 46.
