¹tn Heb “and it will be when your days are full to go with your ancestors.”

²tn Heb “your seed.”

³tn Heb “and I will establish his throne permanently.”

⁴sn The one who ruled before you is a reference to Saul, from whom the kingdom was taken and given to David.

⁵tn Heb “and his throne will be established permanently.”

⁶tn Heb “man of rest.”

⁷tn Heb “his enemies all around.”

⁸sn The name Solomon (שְׁלֹמֹה, shÿlomoh) sounds like (and may be derived from) the Hebrew word for “peace” (שָׁלוֹם, shalom).

⁹tn Heb “in his days.”

¹⁰tn Heb “for my name.”

¹¹tn Heb “and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel permanently.”

¹²tn The name “Jahziel” appears as “Jahzeel” in Gen 46:24.

¹³tc Most Hebrew mss read “Shallum”; some Hebrew mss and some LXX mss read “Shillem,” the form of the name that appears in Gen 46:24 and Num 26:49.

¹⁴sn See the note on the word “concubine” in 1:32.

¹⁵tn Many English versions spell this name “Ibsam.”

¹⁶tn Many English versions retain a form of this name closer to the Hebrew, i.e., “Shemuel.”

¹⁷tn Heb “heads of the house of their fathers.”

¹⁸tn Heb “to Tola [there were] warriors by their generations, their number in the days of David [was] 22,600.”

¹⁹tn The epithet “Branch” (צֶמַח, tsemakh) derives from the verb used here (יִצְמָח, yitsmakh, “will sprout up”) to describe the rise of the Messiah, already referred to in this manner in Zech 3:8 (cf. Isa 11:1; 53:2; Jer 33:15). In the immediate context this refers to Zerubbabel, but the ultimate referent is Jesus (cf. John 19:5).

²⁰sn The priest here in the immediate context is Joshua but the fuller and more distant allusion is to the Messiah, a ruling priest. The notion of the ruler as a priest-king was already apparent in David and his successors (Pss 2:2, 6-8; 110:2, 4), and it finds mature expression in David’s greater Son, Jesus Christ, who will combine both offices in his kingship (Heb 5:1-10; 7:1-25).

²¹sn The Greek makes the contrast between v. 5 and v. 6a more emphatic and explicit than is easily done in English.

²²tn Grk “his”; in the translation the referent (God) has been specified for clarity.

²³tn Grk “whose house we are,” continuing the previous sentence.

²⁴tc The reading adopted by the translation is found in Ì^13,46 B sa, while the vast majority of mss (א A C D Ψ 0243 0278 33 1739 1881 Ï latt) add μέχρι τέλους βεβαίαν (mecri telou" bebaian, “secure until the end”). The external evidence for the omission, though minimal, has excellent credentials. Considering the internal factors, B. M. Metzger (TCGNT 595) finds it surprising that the feminine adjective βεβαίαν should modify the neuter noun καύχημα (kauchma, here translated “we take pride”), a fact that suggests that even the form of the word was borrowed from another place. Since the same phrase occurs at Heb 3:14, it is likely that later scribes added it here at Heb 3:6 in anticipation of Heb 3:14. While these words belong at 3:14, they seem foreign to 3:6.

²⁵tn Grk “the pride of our hope.”
