2Ki 25:6; 2Ch 25:23,24; 2Ch 33:11; 2Ch 36:6,10; Ne 8:16; Ne 12:39; Job 40:11,12; Pr 16:18; Pr 29:23; Isa 2:11,12; Jer 31:38; Da 4:37; Zec 14:10; Lu 14:11

¹ tc The MT has the plural form of the verb, but the final vav (ו) is virtually dittographic. The word that immediately follows in the Hebrew text begins with a yod (י). The form should be emended to the singular, which is consistent in number with the verb (“he broke down”) that follows.

² tn Heb “came to.”

³ tn Heb “four hundred cubits.” The standard cubit in the OT is assumed by most authorities to be about eighteen inches (45 cm) long.
