1 tn Heb “he cursed them in the name of the Lord.” A curse was a formal appeal to a higher authority (here the Lord) to vindicate one’s cause through judgment. As in chapter one, this account makes it clear that disrespect for the Lord’s designated spokesmen can be deadly, for it is ultimately rejection of the Lord’s authority.

2 tn Heb “the king of Israel and the king of Judah and the king of Edom.”

3 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

4 tn Heb “and he returned and went into the house, once here and once there.”

5 tn Heb “and he went up.”

6 tn Heb “and he saw, and look.”
