¹tn In the Hebrew text the sentence is introduced by the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”), which here draws attention to Nathan’s concluding word of assurance and support. For this use of the word, see HALOT 252 s.v. הִנֵּה.

²tc The Hebrew text reads, “I will come after you.”

³tn Heb “fill up [i.e., confirm] your words.”

⁴tn Heb “in the eyes of the Lord.”

⁵tn The idiomatic statement reads in Hebrew, “he did not fill up after.”

⁷tn Heb “Solomon drove out Abiathar from being a priest to the Lord.”

⁸tn Heb “fulfilling the word of the Lord which he spoke against the house of Eli in Shiloh.”

¹⁰tn Heb “were not able to stand to serve.”

¹¹tn Heb “the house of the Lord.”

¹³tn The Hebrew text reads, “by his hand.”

¹⁴tn The Hebrew text reads, “by his mouth.”

¹⁶tn Heb “[you] who kept to your servant David my father that which you spoke to him.”

¹⁹tn The noun translated “small flocks” occurs only here. The common interpretation derives the word from the verbal root חשׂף, “to strip off; to make bare.” In this case the noun refers to something “stripped off” or “made bare.” HALOT 359 s.v. II חשׂף derives the noun from a proposed homonymic verbal root (which occurs only in Ps 29:9) meaning “cause a premature birth.” In this case the derived noun could refer to goats that are undersized because they are born prematurely.
