1 tn Heb “sons.”
2 tn Heb “caused them to stand for him as gods.”
3 sn This may refer to child sacrifice, though some interpret it as a less drastic cultic practice (NEB “burnt his sons in the fire”; NASB “burned his sons in the fire”; NIV “sacrificed his sons in the fire”; NRSV “made his sons pass through fire”). For discussion see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 266-67.
4 tn Heb “like the abominable practices of the nations.”
5 tn Heb “said.”
6 tn Heb “with the words.”
7 tn Or “seer.”
8 tn Heb “told Judah.” The words “the people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” here by metonymy for the people of Judah.
9 tn Heb “in the eyes of.”
10 tn Or “served.”
11 tn Or “burned incense.”
12 tn Heb “angering me with all the work of their hands.” The present translation assumes this refers to idols they have manufactured (note the preceding reference to “other gods”). However, it is possible that this is a general reference to their sinful practices, in which case one might translate, “angering me by all the things they do.”
