1Kr 12:26 - And Jeroboam said in his heart, Now shall the kingdom return to the house of David:
2Kr 17,4 - Salmanassar V. panoval v r. 727–722 pr. Kr. – Egyptského kráľa Su stotožňujú s faraónom Sabakonom. Tento však panoval len o 30 rokov neskoršie. Preto iní myslia, že Su bol nejaké egyptské knieža. – Mimobiblické pramene poznajú akéhosi tartana (vojvodcu, teda nie kráľa!) v krajine Musri, ktorý mal podobné meno, volal sa Sibu. Preto sa mnohí dnes domnievajú, že tu spomínaný Su je totožný s týmto Sibum; nie je teda kráľom Egypta (hebr. Misraim), ale vojvodcom severoarabskej krajiny Musri.
2Kr 17,6 - Pád Samárie spadá do roku, v ktorom zomrel Salmanassar (722). Z nápisov jeho nástupcu Sargona II. (722–705) však vieme, že Samáriu dobyl až tento kráľ. Asýrsky kráľ, ktorý sa v tomto verši spomína, už nie je Salmanassar V., ale Sargon II. – Hala bol akýsi kraj v Mezopotámii. Mimobiblické pramene ho volajú Halahhu. Rieka Habor ústí do Eufratu pri Karkemiši. Pri tejto rieke ležala krajina Gozan. Podnes je tam miesto, ktoré sa volá Kaušan.
2Kr 17,9 - Z veží strážili stáda (Gn 35,21) a vinice (Iz 5,2). Okolo nich sa tvorili malé osady. Celý výraz rozumej: "od najmenšej osady až po najväčšie mestá".
2Kr 17,16 - Pozri 1 Kr 14,24; 15,12; 22,47. – "Nebeské vojsko" sú nebeské telesá. Izraelitom sa tu prvý raz vyčituje, že sa klaňali hviezdam.
2Kr 17,17 - Pozri pozn. k 16,3.
2Kr 17,23 - Až po dnešný deň – porov. pozn. 14,7.
2Kr 17,24 - Kuta bolo mesto boha Nergala. Ležalo asi tam, kde je dnešný Tel Ibrahim, severovýchodne od Babylonu. Neskoršie volali Židia Samaritánov Kutejcami (Jozef Flávius, Starožitnosti 13, 9,1), z čoho možno usudzovať, že títo tvorili väčšinu medzi novoosadníkmi bývalej severnej ríše. – Avu sa doteraz nepodarilo zistiť. Myslia na sýrske mesto, ktoré sa na amarnských tabuľkách volá "Ammia" a bolo na východ od Antiochie. – O Emate pozri 1 Kr 8,65. – Sefarvaim je buď Sipar (Sippar) severne od Babylonu, na ľavom brehu Eufratu (kde je dnes Abu Chabba), alebo niektoré sýrske mesto, azda mesto, ktoré klinopisné pamiatky volajú Šipri. Toto posledné je pravdepodobnejšie, pretože vo vv. 18,34 a 19,13 sa Sefarvaim spomína medzi sýrskymi mestami.
2Kr 17,30 - Sochotbenot je asi bohyňa, ktorú Babylonci volali Serbanitu a pokladali ju za manželku svojho hlavného boha Marduka. – Boh podsvetia Nergal bol miestnym bohom mesta Kuta. Ďalšie tu spomínané mená božstiev sú nám ináč neznáme. V menách oboch bohov Sefarvaimu sa skrýva asi Moloch, ktorému k úcte tiež pálili dietky (porov. pozn. k 16,3).
