- 2 Kings 22:14 Also called Hasrah in 2 Chronicles 34:22.
- 2 Kings 22:14 The Hebrew reads keeper of the garments. It is not specified if these are priestly or royal garments. The former is supported by 2 Kings 10:22. It is most likely that the words keeper of the vestments modify Shallum, but the office may have been hereditary and held by all three men.
