¹tn Heb “he”; the referent (Micaiah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²tn Heb “small or great.”

³sn We have no portion in David; no share in the son of Jesse. Their point seems to be that they have no familial relationship with David that brings them any benefits or places upon them any obligations. They are being treated like outsiders.

⁴tn Heb “to your tents, Israel.” The word “return” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

⁵tn Heb “Now see your house, David.”

⁶tn Heb “went to their tents.”

⁷tc Verse 2 is not included in the Old Greek translation. See the note on 11:43.

⁸tn Heb “and Jeroboam lived in Egypt.” The parallel text in 2 Chr 10:2 reads, “and Jeroboam returned from Egypt.” In a purely consonantal text the forms “and he lived” and “and he returned” are identical (וישׁב).
