2 Kings 9:17

Context

9:17 Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel and saw Jehu’s troops approaching. 1  He said, “I see troops!” 2  Jehoram ordered, 3  “Send a rider out to meet them and have him ask, ‘Is everything all right?’” 4 

1 tn Heb “the quantity [of the men] of Jehu, when he approached.” Elsewhere שִׁפְעַה (shifah), “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).

2 tn The term שִׁפְעַת (shifat) appears to be a construct form of the noun, but no genitive follows.

3 tn Heb “said.”

4 tn Heb “Get a rider and send [him] to meet him and let him ask, ‘Is there peace?’”
