NET © Notes

tn Heb “and they came down to him.”

tn Or “this nation,” perhaps emphasizing the strength of the Syrian army.

tn On the basis of the Akkadian etymology of the word, M. Cogan and H. Tadmor (II Kings [AB], 74) translate “blinding light.” HALOT 761 s.v. סַנְוֵרִים suggests the glosses “dazzling, deception.”

tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

tn Heb “according to the word of Elisha.”
