¹ tn Heb “the kingdom of the Lord by the hand of the sons of David.”

² tn Or “horde”; or “multitude.”

³ tn Heb “all Judah.” The words “you people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” by metonymy for the people of Judah.

⁴ tn Or perhaps “don’t get discouraged.”

⁵ tn Heb “sons.”

⁶ tn Heb “caused them to stand for him as gods.”
