Footnotes

  1. 2 Chronicles 22:5 Jehoram and Joram are two forms of the same name, a name shared by contemporary kings of Judah and Israel. In this account the two names are used inconsistently and seemingly interchangeably for the same king.
  2. 2 Chronicles 22:6 Ahaziah is the reading of some Hebrew manuscripts and ancient versions and 2 Kings 8:29. Most Hebrew manuscripts read Azariah.
