¹ tn Heb “if he is a man of strength [or ability].” In this context, where Adonijah calls himself a “servant,” implying allegiance to the new king, the phrase אִישׁ חַיִל (’ish khayil) probably carries the sense of “a worthy man,” that is, “loyal” (see HALOT 311 s.v. חַיִל).

² tn Heb “but if evil is found in him.”

³ tn Heb “[in] peace.”

⁵ tn Heb “your son, the one who came out of your body, he will build the temple for my name.”

⁷ tn Heb “As for you, if you walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, by doing all which I commanded you, [and] you keep my rules and my regulations.” Verse 4 is actually a lengthy protasis (“if” section) of a conditional sentence, the apodosis (“then” section) of which appears in v. 5.

⁹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elijah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹⁰ tn Or “trouble.”

¹¹ tn Heb “Listen.”
