1 tn Heb “will return to you.”
2 tn Heb “from their hand.”
3 tn Heb “and he sent the men away and they went.”
4 tn The vav + perfect here indicates action contemporary with the preceding main verb (“sent”). See IBHS 533-34 §32.2.3e.
5 tn Heb “and the king of Israel sent to the place about which the man of God spoke to him, and he warned it and he guarded himself there, not once and not twice.”
6 tn Heb “heavy force.”
7 tn Heb “and the king sent [them] after the Syrian camp.”
8 tn Heb “Go and see.”
9 tn Heb “let us look at each other [in the] face.” The expression refers here to meeting in battle. See v. 11.
10 tn Heb “and they conspired against him [with] a conspiracy in Jerusalem.”
11 tn Heb “and they sent after him to Lachish.”
12 tn Heb “in the beginning of their living there.”
13 tn Heb “fear.”
14 tn Heb “elders of the priests.”
15 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
16 tn Heb “heard concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, ‘Look, he has come out to fight with you.’”
17 tn Heb “Hear the words of Sennacherib which he sent to taunt the living God.”
18 tn Heb “That which you prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.” The verb “I have heard” does not appear in the parallel passage in Isa 37:21, where אֲשֶׁר (’asher) probably has a causal sense, “because.”
19 tc The MT has “Berodach-Baladan,” but several Hebrew, Greek, Aramaic, and Latin witnesses agree with the parallel passage in Isa 39:1 and read “Merodach-Baladan.”
