¹ tn Heb “he made an alliance with him.”

² tn Heb “make ships to go to Tarshish.” This probably refers to large ships either made in or capable of traveling to the distant western port of Tarshish; a “Tarshish-ship” was essentially a large seagoing merchant ship.

³ tn Heb “and the king said [it] and they made a chest and placed it in the gate of the house of the Lord outside.”

⁵ tn Heb “and the doers of the work worked, and the repairs went up for the work by their hand.”

⁶ tn Heb “and they caused the house of God to stand according to its measurements and they strengthened it.”

⁷ tn Heb “and he caused to stand everyone who was found in Jerusalem and Benjamin.”

⁹ tn Heb “all Judah.” The words “the men of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” by metonymy for the men of Judah.

¹¹ tn Heb “and they were praising the Lord day by day, the Levites and the priests with instruments of strength to the Lord.” The phrase בִּכְלֵי־עֹז (bikhley-’oz, “with instruments of strength”) might refer to loud sounding musical instruments (NASB “with loud instruments”; NEB “with unrestrained fervour”). The present translation assumes an emendation to בְּכָל־עֹז (bÿkhol-’oz, “with all strength”); see 1 Chr 13:8, as well as HALOT 805 s.v. I עֹז and BDB 739 s.v. עֹז).
