3 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elijah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
4 tn Heb “You have made difficult [your] request.”
5 tn Heb “to her son.”
6 tn Heb “man of God” (also in vv. 15, 20).
7 tn Heb “Let him come.”

10 tn The Hebrew term כִּכָּר (kikkar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or to a standard unit of weight, generally regarded as a talent. Since the accepted weight for a talent of metal is about 75 pounds, this would have amounted to about 75 pounds of silver (cf. NCV, NLT, CEV).

12 tn Heb “the rider of the horse.”
13 tn Heb “Is there peace?”
14 tn Heb “What concerning you and concerning peace?” That is, “What concern is that to you?”
15 tn Heb “and he came to them.”
16 tc The MT has simply “peace,” omitting the prefixed interrogative particle. It is likely that the particle has been accidentally omitted; several ancient witnesses include it or assume its presence.
17 tn Heb “Go.”
18 sn In v. 25 the chief adviser develops further the argument begun in v. 22. He claims that Hezekiah has offended the Lord and that the Lord has commissioned Assyria as his instrument of discipline and judgment.
19 tn Heb “by which the servants of the king of Assyria have insulted me.”
20 tc Heb “and your complacency comes up into my ears.” The parallelism is improved if שַׁאֲנַנְךְ (sha’anankh), “your complacency,” is emended to שַׁאֲוַנְךְ (sha’avankh), “your uproar.” See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 237-38.
