1 tn Heb “Solomon declared to her all her words; there was not a word hidden from the king which he did not declare to her.” If riddles are specifically in view (see v. 1), then one might translate, “Solomon explained to her all her riddles; there was no riddle too complex for the king.”
2 tn Heb “Indeed what do you lack with me, that now you are seeking to go to your land?”
3 tn Heb “and he said.”
4 sn So Hadad asked Pharaoh… This lengthy description of Hadad’s exile in Egypt explains why Hadad wanted to oppose Solomon and supports the author’s thesis that his hostility to Solomon found its ultimate source in divine providence. Though Hadad enjoyed a comfortable life in Egypt, when the Lord raised him up (apparently stirring up his desire for vengeance) he decided to leave the comforts of Egypt and return to Edom.
3 tn Heb “everyone who drew near to the table of King Solomon.”
4 tn Or “swear an oath by.”
5 sn Horeb is another name for Mount Sinai.
6 tn Heb “in Horeb where.”
6 tn Heb “nothing like it had been made for all the kingdoms.”
7 sn So he went on up, looked, and reported, “There is nothing.” Several times in this chapter those addressed by Elijah obey his orders. In vv. 20 and 42 Ahab does as instructed, in vv. 26 and 28 the prophets follow Elijah’s advice, and in vv. 30, 34, 40 and 43 the people and servants do as they are told. By juxtaposing Elijah’s commands with accounts of those commands being obeyed, the narrator emphasizes the authority of the Lord’s prophet.
8 tn Heb “He said, ‘Return,’ seven times.”
8 tn Heb “Do you know that Ramoth Gilead belongs to us, and we hesitate to take it from the hand of the king of Aram?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “Of course, you must know!”
9 tn Heb “there was no silver, it was not regarded as anything in the days of Solomon.”
10 tn Heb “the bread of affliction and the water of affliction.”
11 tn Heb “come in peace.” So also in v. 28.
11 tn Heb “Look, I am gathering two sticks and then I will go and make it for me and my son and we will eat it and we will die.”
12 tn Heb “How long are you going to limp around on two crutches?” (see HALOT 762 s.v. סְעִפִּים). In context this idiomatic expression refers to indecision rather than physical disability.
13 tn Heb “the God.”
13 tn Heb “led him.”
14 tn Heb “and they stoned him with stones and he died.”
14 tn Heb “five cubits.”
15 tn Heb “six cubits.”
16 tn Heb “seven cubits.”
17 tn Or “offsets” (ASV, NAB, NASB, NRSV); NIV “offset ledges.”
18 tn Heb “so that [the beams] would not have a hold in the walls of the temple.”
