pledge, hostage; person given as surety or guarantee
This rare term appears only in the parallel accounts of Amaziah's defeat (2 Kings 14:14; 2 Chronicles 25:24), where Jehoash takes 'sons of the pledges'—that is, hostages—to ensure compliance. The phrase 'sons of the hostages' likely means 'those who serve as hostages,' a Hebrew idiom where 'sons of' indicates belonging to a category. The unanimous rendering as 'hostages' across Spanish, French, and German confirms the semantic stability of this loanword-like term.
