# the sons of the prophets

This does not mean that they were the sons of prophets, but rather, that they were a group of prophets. See how you translated this phrase in [2 Kings 2:3](./03.md). Alternate translation: "the group of men who were prophets" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])

# stood opposite them

This means that they were standing, facing them. Alternate translation: "stood facing them" or "stood watching them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]])
