NET © Notes |
1 tn Aram “answered and said,” a common Aramaic idiom that occurs repeatedly in this chapter. 2 sn O king, live forever! is a comment of typical court courtesy that is not necessarily indicative of the real sentiments of the speaker. Ancient oriental court protocol could sometimes require a certain amount of hypocrisy. |
