1 tn Heb “From where can I help you, from the threshing floor or the winepress?” The rhetorical question expresses the king’s frustration. He has no grain or wine to give to the masses.

2 tn Heb “So may God do to me, and so may he add.”

3 tn Heb “if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat stays on him today.”
