¹tn Heb “he began to be a mighty warrior in the earth.”

²tn Heb “Tilgath-pilneser,” a variant spelling of Tiglath-pileser (also in v. 26).

³tn Heb “he”; the referent (Beerah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³tn Heb “he”; the referent (Gera) has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

⁴tn The word “son” is not in the Hebrew text, but is implied.

⁵tn Heb “and Kenaniah, the leader of the Levites, with lifting up, supervising with lifting up, for he was well-informed.” The precise nuance of מַשָּׂא (masa’, “lifting up”) is unclear. Some understand it as a reference to supervising the singing and music (e.g., NIV: “Kenaniah…was in charge of the singing”; NEB: “Kenaniah…was precentor in charge of the music”).

⁶tn Or “feared above.”

⁷tn Heb “and I will establish his throne permanently.”

⁸tn Heb “the God.” The article indicates uniqueness here.

⁹tn Heb “and you have spoken to your servant this good thing.”

⁹tc Heb “The first lot went to Asaph, to Joseph.” Apparently the recurring formula, “and his sons and his relatives, twelve” has been accidentally omitted from the Hebrew text at this point (see vv. 10-31; the formula is slightly different in v. 9b). If the number “twelve” is not supplied here, the total comes to only 276, not the 288 required by v. 7.

¹⁰tn Heb “That [was the] Benaiah [who was] a warrior of the thirty and over the thirty, and his division, Ammizabad his son.”
