1 tn Heb “said in his heart.”

2 tn Heb “Now the kingdom could return to the house of David.” The imperfect verbal form translated “could return” is understood as having a potential force here. Perhaps this is not strong enough; another option is “will return.”

3 tn Heb “for this he commanded me by the word of the Lord, saying.”

4 tn Heb “eat food and drink water.”

5 tn Heb “Listen.”

7 tn Heb “for a word to me by the word of the Lord.”

8 tn Heb “eat food and drink water.”
