| 24. Formal Translation With only a few men the army of Aram came, and the LORD {Yahweh, Sovereign Judge} delivered into their hand a very great force, because they had forsaken the God {Elohei, Ancestral Deity} of their fathers; then they executed judgments on Joash. |
| 24. Dynamic Translation Although the Aramean army arrived with only a small force, the LORD {Yahweh, Supreme Ruler} handed over a much larger army to them, because the people had abandoned the God {Elohei, Family Protector} of their ancestors; then they brought judgment on Joash. |
