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?’”

5 tn Heb “the rider of the horse.”

6 tn Heb “Is there peace?”

7 tn Heb “What concerning you and concerning peace?” That is, “What concern is that to you?”

8 tn Heb “in Damascus.”

9 tn Heb “the likeness of the altar and its pattern for all its work.”
