These men heard about the terrible things that had happened to Job. So they each left their homes and went together to visit Job to comfort him sincerely.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

2:11 It might have taken several months for Job’s friends (see study note on 6:14-27) to hear of his afflictions (see 7:3).
• The text implies that Job’s friends were Edomites, a people who were famous for their wisdom (Jer 49:7; Obad 1:8).
• Eliphaz the Temanite was probably a descendant of Esau’s grandson Teman (Gen 36:10-11, 15); his land was located in Edom (Ezek 25:13; Amos 1:11-12).
• The Bil- element in Bildad would remind Hebrew readers of names like Bilhan, a descendant of Esau (Gen 36:27; 1 Chr 1:42). The -dad element would remind them of names like Bedad, father of the Edomite king Hadad (Gen 36:35; 1 Chr 1:46).
• Shuhite: No place named Shuah is known, but Abraham’s son Shuah was sent to “a land in the east” (Gen 25:1, 6; 1 Chr 1:32).
• The Greek Old Testament lists Zophar instead of Zepho as one of Esau’s grandsons (Gen 36:11, 15; 1 Chr 1:36). A Naamathite might reside in a town named Naamah, but no such location is known. Two Old Testament women are named Naamah, but neither is a likely ancestor of Zophar (Gen 4:22; 1 Kgs 14:21).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

אֵ֣ת כָּל־הָ⁠רָעָ֣ה הַ⁠זֹּאת֮ הַ⁠בָּ֣אָה עָלָי⁠ו֒

DOM all/each/any/every the,troubles the,this the,come on/upon/above=him/it

The author is speaking of the evil or trouble that happened to Job as if it were a living that had come on him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “all these bad things had happened to him”

Note 2 topic: translate-names

אֱלִיפַ֤ז הַ⁠תֵּימָנִי֙ וּ⁠בִלְדַּ֣ד הַ⁠שּׁוּחִ֔י וְ⁠צוֹפַ֖ר הַ⁠נַּֽעֲמָתִ֑י

ʼElīfaz the,Temanite and,Bildad the,Shuhite and,Zophar the,Naamathite

The words Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar are the names of men. The word Temanite describes someone from the town of Teman in the ancient country of Edom. The word Shuhite describes someone from the people group descended from Shuah, a son of Abraham and Keturah. The word Naamathite describes someone from the town of Naamah in Canaan.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

לָ⁠נֽוּד־ל֖⁠וֹ וּֽ⁠לְ⁠נַחֲמֽ⁠וֹ

to,console to=him/it and,to,comfort,him

The terms sympathize and comfort mean similar things. The author is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: “to sympathize earnestly with him”
