NET © Notes |
1 sn The assassination probably took place in 681 2 sn No such Mesopotamian god is presently known. Perhaps the name is a corruption of Nusku. 3 tc Although “his sons” is absent in the Kethib, it is supported by the Qere, along with many medieval Hebrew 4 sn Extra-biblical sources also mention the assassination of Sennacherib, though they refer to only one assassin. See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 239-40. |
