¹ sn The figure given here appears to refer to the combined length of both pillars (perhaps when laid end-to-end on the ground prior to being set up; cf. v. 17); the figure given for the height of the pillars in 1 Kgs 7:15, 2 Kgs 25:17, and Jer 52:21 is half this (i.e., eighteen cubits).

² tc The Syriac reads “eighteen cubits” (twenty-seven feet). This apparently reflects an attempt at harmonization with 1 Kgs 7:15, 2 Kgs 25:17, and Jer 52:21.

³ tn Heb “and he made before the house two pillars, thirty-five cubits [in] length, and the plated capital which was on its top [was] five cubits.” The significance of the measure “thirty-five cubits” (52.5 feet or 15.75 m, assuming a cubit of 18 inches) for the “length” of the pillars is uncertain. According to 1 Kgs 7:15, each pillar was eighteen cubits (27 feet or 8.1 m) high. Perhaps the measurement given here was taken with the pillars lying end-to-end on the ground before they were set up.

⁴ sn Horeb is another name for Mount Sinai (cf. Exod 3:1).

⁵ tn Heb “in Horeb where.”

⁷ tc The parallel text of 1 Kgs 10:19 has instead “and the back of it was rounded on top.”

⁸ tn Heb “[There were] armrests on each side of the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “nothing like it had been made for any kingdom.”

¹³ tc The parallel text of 1 Kgs 10:26 reads “fourteen hundred chariots.”

¹⁴ tn Heb “he placed them in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.”

¹⁶ tn Heb “lifted up for himself.”

¹⁹ tn Heb “and he went without desire.”

²⁰ sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.

²² tc Heb “forty-two,” but the parallel passage in 2 Kgs 8:26 reads “twenty-two” along with some mss of the LXX and the Syriac.

²³ tn The Hebrew term בַּת (bat, “daughter”) can refer, as here, to a granddaughter. See HALOT 165-66 s.v. I בַּת 1.
