2 Kings 5:23
5:23 Naaman said, “Please accept two talents of silver. 1 He insisted, and tied up two talents of silver in two bags, along with two suits of clothes. He gave them to two of his servants and they carried them for Gehazi. 2
2 Kings 12:10
12:10 When they saw the chest was full of silver, the royal secretary 3 and the high priest counted the silver that had been brought to the Lord’s temple and bagged it up. 4
1 tn Heb “Be resolved and accept two talents.”
2 tn Heb “before him.”
3 tn Heb “the king’s scribe.”
4 tn Heb “went up and tied [it] and counted the silver that was found in the house of the Lord.” The order of the clauses has been rearranged in the translation to make better sense in English, since it seems more logical to count the money before bagging it (cf. NIV, NCV, NRSV, NLT).
