Verse 18
The nations - הארצות haratsoth , "the lands; "instead of this word, which destroys the sense, ten of Kennicott's and five of De Rossi's MSS. (one ancient) have here גוים goyim , "nations;" which is undoubtedly the true reading, being preserved also in the other copy; 2 Kings 19:17 . Another MS. suggests another method of rectifying the sense in this place, by reading מלכם malcam , "their king, "instead of ארצם artsam , "their land;" but it ought to be מלכיהם malcheyhem , "all the countries and their kings."
