1 sn There was no one else in the house except the two of us. In other words, there were no other witnesses to the births who could identify which child belonged to which mother.
2 tn Heb “a covenant,” referring to a formal peace treaty or alliance.
3 tn Heb “was over.”
4 tn Heb “and the capitals on the two pillars, also above, close beside the bulge which was beside the latticework, two hundred pomegranates in rows around, on the second capital.” The precise meaning of the word translated “bulge” is uncertain.
5 tn Heb “The Sea.” The proper noun has been replaced by the pronoun (“it”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.
6 tn Or “gourd-shaped ornaments.”
7 tn Heb “ten cubits surrounding the sea all around.” The precise meaning of this description is uncertain.
8 tn Heb “the gourd-shaped ornaments were in two rows, cast in its casting.”
6 tn Heb “the two houses, the house of the Lord and the house of the king.”
7 tn Heb “[There were] armrests on each side of the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.”
8 tn Heb “nothing like it had been made for all the kingdoms.”

12 tn Heb “in the temporary shelters.” This is probably referring to tents.
12 tn 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.
