Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וַֽ⁠יְמַהֲר֗וּ וַ⁠יִּקְחוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ בִּגְד֔⁠וֹ

and,they_hurried (Some words not found in UHB: and,they_hurried and=they_took (a)_man garment_of,his and,they_put_[them] under,him to/towards bare_of of,the_steps and,they_gave_a_blast on,trumpet and=they_said is_king Yēhūʼ/(Jehu) )

The phrase hurried and took expresses a single idea. The word hurried tells how the other commanders took their garments. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning in a different way. Alternate translation: [And they hurriedly took, a man his garment]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וַֽ⁠יְמַהֲר֗וּ וַ⁠יִּקְחוּ֙ אִ֣ישׁ בִּגְד֔⁠וֹ

See how you translated the similar expression in [3:23](../03/23.md). Alternate translation: [And each man hurriedly took his own garment]

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_hurried and=they_took (a)_man garment_of,his and,they_put_[them] under,him to/towards bare_of of,the_steps and,they_gave_a_blast on,trumpet and=they_said is_king Yēhūʼ/(Jehu) )

Putting their garments under Jehu (that is, letting him stand on them) was a symbolic action by which the commanders showed him honor. They were treating him as a person who was so great that his feet should not touch the ground. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text of your translation or in a footnote.

to/towards (Some words not found in UHB: and,they_hurried and=they_took (a)_man garment_of,his and,they_put_[them] under,him to/towards bare_of of,the_steps and,they_gave_a_blast on,trumpet and=they_said is_king Yēhūʼ/(Jehu) )

The word that the ULT translates as top is an architectural term whose precise meaning is no longer certain. The context suggests, however, that the other commanders wanted to put Jehu in a high location to honor him and make him visible, so most translations understand the term to refer to the top of a staircase. However, some versions translate the term in other ways. If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

Note 5 topic: translate-symaction

וַֽ⁠יִּתְקְעוּ֙ בַּ⁠שּׁוֹפָ֔ר

The act of blowing on a shofar was a symbolic action by these commanders showed that they were supporting Jehu as king instead of Jehoram, the son of Ahab. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the significance of this action in the text of your translation or in a footnote. Alternate translation: [And they blew on a shofar to show that they were supporting him as king]
