¹ tc The Hebrew text reads, “and in the fifth year of Joram son of Ahab king of Israel, and [or, ‘while’?] Jehoshaphat [was?] king of Judah, Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah became king.” The first reference to “Jehoshaphat king of Judah” is probably due to a scribe accidentally copying the phrase from the later in the verse. If the Hebrew text is retained, the verse probably refers to the beginning of a coregency between Jehoshaphat and Jehoram.

² tn Heb “and go and set him apart from his brothers and bring him into an inner room in an inner room.”

³ sn The name Joahaz is an alternate form of Jehoahaz.

⁴ sn The referent here is Joash of Judah (see 12:21), not Joash of Israel, mentioned earlier in the verse.

⁵ tn Heb “let us look at each other [in the] face.” The expression refers here to meeting in battle. See v. 11.

⁶ tn Heb “and came to.”

⁷ tn Heb “went up from Tirzah and arrived in Samaria and attacked Shallum son of Jabesh in Samaria.”

⁸ tn Heb “And the people who were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon left, he appointed over them Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan.”
