2 Kings 9:13

Context
9:13 Each of them quickly took off his cloak and they spread them out at Jehu’s 1  feet on the steps. 2  The trumpet was blown 3  and they shouted, “Jehu is 4  king!”

1 tn Heb “his”; the referent (Jehu) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 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.

3 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.

4 tn Or “has become.”
