2 tn Heb “and the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho, [who were standing] opposite, saw him and said.”

3 tn Heb “the spirit of Elijah.”

4 tc The MT has the plural form of the verb, but the final vav (ו) is virtually dittographic. The word that immediately follows in the Hebrew text begins with a yod (י). The form should be emended to the singular, which is consistent in number with the verb (“he broke down”) that follows.

5 tn Heb “came to.”

6 tn Heb “four hundred cubits.” The standard cubit in the OT is assumed by most authorities to be about eighteen inches (45 cm) long.
