Discovery Box2 Kings 9:3 
Context9:3 Take the container of olive oil, pour it over his head, and say, ‘This is what the Lord says, “I have designated 1 you as king over Israel.”’ Then open the door and run away quickly!” 2
2 Kings 22:4
Context22:4 “Go up to Hilkiah the high priest and have him melt down 3 the silver that has been brought by the people to the Lord’s temple and has been collected by the guards at the door.
1 tn Heb “anointed.”
2 tn Heb “and open the door and run away and do not delay.”
3 tc The MT has וְיַתֵּם (vÿyattem), “and let them add up” (Hiphil of תָּמָם [tammam], “be complete”), but the appearance of הִתִּיכוּ (hitikhu), “they melted down” (Hiphil of נָתַךְ [natakh], “pour out”) in v. 9 suggests that the verb form should be emended to וְיַתֵּךְ (vÿyattekh), “and let him melt down” (a Hiphil of נָתַךְ [natakh]). For a discussion of this and other options see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 281.
