| NET © Notes |
1 tn The words “Some time later” are not in the text but are a way of translating the conjunction “And” or “Then” that introduces this narrative. 2 sn The precise location of this entrance is unknown since it is mentioned nowhere else in the OT. Many commentators equate this with the “king’s outer entry” (mentioned in 2 Kgs 16:18) which appears to have been a private entryway between the temple and the palace. 3 tn The words “when you answer” are not in the text but are implicit in the connection. They are supplied in the translation for the sake of clarity and smoothness of style. |
