1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Hazael) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
2 tn Heb “his”; the referent (Ben Hadad) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Heb “his”; the referent (Jehu) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
4 tn Heb “and they hurried and took, each one his garment, and they placed [them] beneath him on the bone [?] of the steps.” The precise nuance of גֶרֶם (gerem), “bone,” is unclear. Some suggest the nuance “bare” here; it may be a technical architectural term in this context.
5 tn Heb “they blew the trumpet.” This has been translated as a passive to avoid the implication that the same ones who shouted had all blown trumpets.
6 tn Or “has become.”
