1 tc The Hebrew text omits reference to the grain offerings at this point, but note that they are included both in the list in the second half of the verse (see note on “offerings” at the end of this verse) and in the parallel account in 1 Kgs 8:64. The construction וְאֶת־הַמִּנְחָה (vÿ’et-hamminkhah; vav [ו] + accusative sign + noun with article; “grain offerings”) was probably omitted accidentally by homoioarcton. Note the וְאֶת (vÿ’et) that immediately follows.
2 tn Heb “to hold the burnt sacrifices, grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.” Because this is redundant, the translation employs a summary phrase: “all these offerings.”
3 tn Heb “also I have rejected you into the hand of Shishak.”
4 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.
5 tn Heb “and we will surround [them] with wall[s] and towers, doors, and bars.”
6 tn Heb “sought.”
7 tn Heb “and he has given us rest all around.”
8 tn The words “the cities” are supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.

16 tn Heb “and love those who hate the
17 tn Heb “and because of this upon you is anger from before the
18 tn Heb “all Judah.” The words “you people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” by metonymy for the people of Judah. Unlike the previous instance in v. 13 where infants, wives, and children are mentioned separately, this reference appears to include them all.
19 tn Or perhaps “don’t get discouraged.”
20 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Joram) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
21 tn Heb “which the Syrians inflicted [on] him.”

34 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.”
35 tn Heb “and you killed them with anger [that] reaches as far as heaven.”
36 tn Or perhaps, “and don’t be discouraged.”
