**לעילום.** כמו "לעולם":

***Le-‘elom*.** This is akin to *le-‘olam* (=forever).

**מערבה לגיחון.** מלרע, והוא כמו "מערב", ובא עם ה"א הנקבה אשר נוספה עם השמות; וכן "ממזרח שמש וממערבה" (יש' מה,ו). ויתכן שיהיה הה"א בשניהם כינוי הנקבה, והיה דינו במפיק; וכבר כתבנו הדומים להם בספר מכלל (כו,ב-כז,א). ופי' "מערבה לגיחון": מערב החומה היה לגיחון **בנחל**; וכן "וממערבה": ממערב השמש, כי השמש בלשון נקבה ובלשון זכר:

**The Commentary of Radak to Chronicles: A Translation with Introduction and Supercommentary, by Yitzhak Berger, Brown University, 2007:**
***Ma‘ravah le-Giḥon* (=west of Gihon).** [*Ma‘ravah*] is stressed on the final syllable: it is akin to *ma‘arav*, with the *hei* ending that marks a feminine noun. The same is true for *mi-mizraḥ ha-shemesh u-mi-ma‘aravah* (=in the east, where the sun rises, and in the west; Isa 45:6). Alternatively, it might be that in both cases, the *hei* is a feminine pronoun and should really have featured a *mappiq*. We have previously listed similar cases, in the *Mikhlol* (26b-27a). The meaning of *ma‘ravah le-Giḥon*, then, would be that the west side *of the wall* was *toward* Gihon, **in the wadi**. Likewise, [*mi-mizraḥ ha-shemesh*] *u-mi-ma‘aravah* would mean [from the place of the rising of the sun] to that of *its* setting—for *shemesh* (=sun) can be either masculine or feminine.

**וסבב לעפל.** מקום גבוה שהיה בחומה:

**And it encircled the *‘ofel*—**a high place that was within the wall.

**על דברי חוזי.** כמו "חוזים"; וכן "וחשופי שת" (יש' כ,ד), "וקרע לו חלוני" (יר' כב,יד):

**The Commentary of Radak to Chronicles: A Translation with Introduction and Supercommentary, by Yitzhak Berger, Brown University, 2007:**
**In the words of *ḥozay*.** This is akin to *ḥozim* (=prophets). The same is true for *va-ḥasufay shet* (=with exposed buttocks; Isa 20:4), and for “and he builds *ḥallonay* (=windows) into it” (Jer 22:14).

**ויקברוהו ביתו.** כמו "בביתו"; וכן "הנמצא בית יי'" (מ"ב יב,יא). ופי' "ביתו": בגן שהיה לו בבית; וכן אומ' במלכים "בגן ביתו" (מ"ב כא,יח). וה"בית" הוא כלל לבתים ולגן:

**The Commentary of Radak to Chronicles: A Translation with Introduction and Supercommentary, by Yitzhak Berger, Brown University, 2007:**
**And [Manasseh] was buried *beto*.** This is the equivalent of *be-beto* (=*in* his *bayit*). The same is true for *ha-nimṣa bet Adonay* (=found *in* the House of the Lord; 2 Kgs 12:11). *Beto* means in the garden that he had in the *bayit* (=house), much as it says in Kings, “in the garden of his *bayit*” (2 Kgs 21:18). *Bayit* is an inclusive term for the houses and the garden.
