2 Kings 4:18

4:18 The boy grew and one day he went out to see his father who was with the harvest workers.

2 Kings 25:30

25:30 He was given daily provisions by the king for the rest of his life until the day he died.


tn Heb “to his father, to the harvesters.”

tc The words “until the day he died” do not appear in the MT, but they are included in the parallel passage in Jer 52:34. Probably they have been accidentally omitted by homoioteleuton. A scribe’s eye jumped from the final vav (ו) on בְּיוֹמוֹ (bÿyomo), “in his day,” to the final vav (ו) on מוֹתוֹ (moto), “his death,” leaving out the intervening words.
