If your language would not represent a number in a form such as second, you could represent this number in a form that your language would use. Alternate translation: [another letter]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וּ⁠לְ⁠קֹלִ֣⁠י ׀ אַתֶּ֣ם שֹׁמְעִ֗ים

Here, Jehu’s voice represents what he is saying by using words. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and you are listening to what I say]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וּ⁠לְ⁠קֹלִ֣⁠י ׀ אַתֶּ֣ם שֹׁמְעִ֗ים

and,to,voice_of,my (Some words not found in UHB: and,he_wrote to,them writing second to=say if to=me you(pl) and,to,voice_of,my you(pl) obey take DOM heads_of men_of sons_of your(pl)_master(s)_of,your(pl) and,come to=me about,time tomorrow to,Jezreel and=the_sons the=king seventy (a)_man DOM leaders_of the=city bringing_~_up ,them )

See the discussion in the introduction to 2 Kings of how the author and characters often use the term “listen” to mean “agree.” Alternate translation: [and you agree to do what I say]

Note 4 topic: writing-background

וּ⁠בְנֵ֤י הַ⁠מֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ שִׁבְעִ֣ים אִ֔ישׁ אֶת־גְּדֹלֵ֥י הָ⁠עִ֖יר מְגַדְּלִ֥ים אוֹתָֽ⁠ם

The author is providing background information to help readers understand what happens next in the story. In your translation, introduce this information in a way that would be natural in your own language and culture.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

The author is using the adjective great as a noun to mean a certain kind of person. The ULT indicates this by supplying the word ones. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase, here and in verse 11. Alternate translation: [the leading citizens of the city]
