And he — i.e., Joram, 1 Kings 8:29, and LXX.
Because of the wounds. — Omit “because.” So
Kings, and LXX. (ἀπὸ τῶν πληγῶν), Syriac, Arabic, and Targum, as well as some Hebrew MSS. The Hebrew text has “because the wounds,” which makes no sense. The word rendered “wounds” (makhim) only occurs besides in 2 Kings 8:29; 2 Kings 9:15. (Ki, “because,” has originated out of min, “from.”)
Azariah. — A mistake for “Ahaziah.” So Kings, LXX., Vulg., Syriac, Arabic, and some Hebrew MSS.
Went down. — Whether from Ramah or Jerusalem is not clear. (See 2 Kings 9:14.)
Jehoram. — Kings, Joram; and so the versions.
