2 tn Heb “the quantity [of the men] of Jehu, when he approached.” Elsewhere שִׁפְעַה (shif’ah), “quantity,” is used of a quantity of camels (Isa 60:6) or horses (Ezek 26:10) and of an abundance of water (Job 22:11; 38:34).
3 tn The term שִׁפְעַת (shifat) appears to be a construct form of the noun, but no genitive follows.
4 tn Heb “said.”
5 tn Heb “Get a rider and send [him] to meet him and let him ask, ‘Is there peace?’”
6 tn Heb “the rider of the horse.”
7 tn Heb “Is there peace?”
8 tn Heb “What concerning you and concerning peace?” That is, “What concern is that to you?”
9 tn Heb “and he came to them.”
10 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.
