1 tn Heb “for my name to be there perpetually [or perhaps, “forever”].”
2 tn Heb “and my eyes and my heart will be there all the days.”
1 tn Heb for my name to be there.” See also the note on the word “live” in v. 5.
1 tn Heb “and they placed hands on her, and she went through the entrance of the gate of the horses [into] the house of the king.” Some English versions treat the phrase “gate of the horses” as the name of the gate (“the Horse Gate”; e.g., NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV).
1 tn Heb “for there.”
2 sn The name Berachah, which means “blessing” in Hebrew, is derived from the verbal root “to praise [or “to bless”],” which appears earlier in the verse.
1 tn Or “one on the south and the other on the north.”
2 tn The name “Jachin” appears to be a verbal form and probably means, “he establishes.”
3 tn The meaning of the name “Boaz” is uncertain. For various proposals, see BDB 126-27 s.v. בֹּעַז. One attractive option is to revocalize the name asבְּעֹז (bÿ’oz, “in strength”) and to understand it as completing the verbal form on the first pillar. Taking the words together and reading from right to left, one can translate the sentence, “he establishes [it] in strength.”
1 tn Heb “they could not be seen outside.”
1 tn Heb “they”; the referent (God’s people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
2 tn Or “stop and reflect”; Heb “bring back to their heart.”
3 tn Or “done wrong.”
1 tn Heb “Huram” (also in v. 18). Some medieval Hebrew mss, along with the LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate spell the name “Hiram,” agreeing with 1 Chr 14:1. “Huram” is a variant spelling referring to the same individual.
1 tn Heb “nothing like it had been made for any kingdom.”
1 tn Heb “and they conspired against him [with] a conspiracy in Jerusalem.”
2 tn Heb “and they sent after him to Lachish.”
1 tn Or “high place.”
2 tn Heb “the tent of meeting of God.”
1 tn Heb “saying.”
2 tn Heb “to build a house for my name to be there.” Here “name” is used by metonymy for the Lord himself, and thus the expression “to be there” refers to his taking up residence there (hence the translation, “a temple in which to live”). In this case the temple is referred to as a “house” where the Lord himself can reside.
1 tn Heb “so your eyes might be open toward this house night and day, toward the place about which you said, ‘My name will be there.’”
2 tn Heb “by listening to the prayer which your servant is praying concerning this place.”
1 tn Heb “Shephelah.”
1 tn Or “an angel.”
2 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Sennacherib) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Heb “and he returned with shame of face to his land.”
4 tn Heb “and some from those who went out from him, from his inward parts.”
1 tc The Hebrew text omits reference to the grain offerings at this point, but note that they are included both in the list in the second half of the verse (see note on “offerings” at the end of this verse) and in the parallel account in 1 Kgs 8:64. The construction וְאֶת־הַמִּנְחָה (vÿ’et-hamminkhah; vav [ו] + accusative sign + noun with article; “grain offerings”) was probably omitted accidentally by homoioarcton. Note the וְאֶת (vÿ’et) that immediately follows.
2 tn Heb “to hold the burnt sacrifices, grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.” Because this is redundant, the translation employs a summary phrase: “all these offerings.”
1 tn Heb “and the king, Rehoboam, strengthened himself in Jerusalem and ruled.”
2 tn Heb “Rehoboam.” The recurrence of the proper name here is redundant in terms of contemporary English style, so the pronoun has been used in the translation instead.
3 tn Heb “the city where the Lord chose to place his name from all the tribes of Israel.”
4 tn Heb “his”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.
