Revelation 6:15

Then ¹  the kings of the earth, the ²  very important people, the generals, ³  the rich, the powerful, and everyone, slave ⁴  and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.

Jos 10:16,17; Jud 6:2; 1Sa 13:6; Job 34:19,20; Ps 2:10-12; Ps 49:1,2; Ps 76:12; Ps 110:5,6; Isa 2:10,19; Isa 24:21,22; Isa 42:22; Mic 7:17; Heb 11:38; Re 18:9-11; Re 19:13-21

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

² tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated; nor is it translated before each of the following categories, since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

³ tn Grk “chiliarchs.” A chiliarch was normally a military officer commanding a thousand soldiers, but here probably used of higher-ranking commanders like generals (see L&N 55.15; cf. Rev 6:15).

⁴ tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.
