¹ tn Heb “went and came.”

² tn Heb “the man of God.” The phrase has been replaced by the relative pronoun “he” in the translation for stylistic reasons.

³ tn The Hebrew text also has “in your hand.”

⁴ tn Heb “Inquire of the Lord through him, saying.”

⁵ tn Heb “Now Elisha was ill with the illness by which he would die.”

⁶ tn Heb “went down to him.”

⁷ tn Though the noun is singular here, it may be collective, in which case it could be translated “chariots.”

⁸ sn By comparing Elisha to a one-man army, the king emphasizes the power of the prophetic word. See the note at 2:12.
