1 sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.
2 tn The words “the people of” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” by metonymy for the people of Judah.
3 tn Heb “and we will surround [them] with wall[s] and towers, doors, and bars.”
4 tn Heb “sought.”
5 tn Heb “and he has given us rest all around.”
6 tn The words “the cities” are supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.
7 tn Heb “the seer.”
8 tn Heb “clothed.”
9 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Amaziah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

11 tn The verb יָעַץ (ya’ats, “has decided”) is from the same root as יוֹעֵץ (yo’ets, “counselor”) in v. 16 and עֵצָה (’etsah, “advice”) later in v. 16. The wordplay highlights the appropriate nature of the divine punishment. Amaziah rejected the counsel of God’s prophet; now he would be the victim of God’s “counsel.”
12 tn Heb “and you killed them with anger [that] reaches as far as heaven.”
13 tn Heb “how much less.”
14 tn The verb is plural, suggesting that the preceding אֱלֹהֵיכֶם (’elohekhem) be translated “your gods,” rather than “your God.”
