- 2 Kings 16:5 tn Heb “went up to Jerusalem for battle.”
- 2 Kings 16:5 tn That is, Jerusalem, Ahaz’s capital city.
- 2 Kings 16:5 tn Heb “they were unable to fight.” The object must be supplied from the preceding sentence. Elsewhere when the Niphal infinitive of לָחָם (lakham) follows the verb יָכֹל (yakhol), the infinitive appears to have the force of “prevail against.” See Num 22:11; 1 Sam 17:9; and the parallel passage in Isa 7:1.
