Context

2 Kings 23:19

Context

23:19 Josiah also removed all the shrines on the high places in the cities of Samaria. The kings of Israel had made them and angered the Lord. 7  He did to them what he had done to the high place in Bethel. 8 

1 tn Heb “was a great man before his master and lifted up with respect to the face.”

2 tn For a discussion of מְצֹרָע (mÿtsora’), traditionally translated “leprous,” see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 63. Naaman probably had a skin disorder of some type, not leprosy/Hansen’s disease.

3 tn Heb “The man who escapes from the men whom I am bringing into your hands, [it will be] his life in place of his life.”

4 tn Heb “Indeed he did not leave to Jehoahaz people.” The identity of the subject is uncertain, but the king of Syria, mentioned later in the verse, is a likely candidate.

5 tn Heb “them,” i.e., the remainder of this troops.

6 tn Heb “and made them like dust for trampling.”

7 tc Heb “which the kings of Israel had made, angering.” The object has been accidentally omitted in the MT. It appears in the LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate versions.

8 tn Heb “and he did to them according to all the deeds he had done in Bethel.”
