¹ tn Heb “May your eyes be open and your ears attentive to the prayer of this place.”

² tn Heb “my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer of this place.” Note Solomon’s request in 6:40.

³ 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.’”

⁴ tn Heb “by listening to the prayer which your servant is praying concerning this place.”

⁴ tn Heb “and the doors for the enclosure.”

⁵ map For location see Map5-B1; Map6-F3; Map7-E2; Map8-F2; Map10-B3; JP1-F4; JP2-F4; JP3-F4; JP4-F4.

⁶ tn Heb “3,000 baths” (note that the capacity is given in 1 Kings 7:26 as “2,000 baths”). A bath was a liquid measure roughly equivalent to six gallons (about 22 liters), so 3,000 baths was a quantity of about 18,000 gallons (66,000 liters).

⁷ tn Heb “and he placed officers of war over the people.”

⁸ tn Heb “he spoke to their heart[s].”

⁸ tn Heb “and you, hear [from] heaven and act and judge your servants by repaying the guilty, to give his way on his head, and to declare the innocent to be innocent, to give to him according to his innocence.”

⁹ tn The words “their sin” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied for clarification.

¹⁰ tn Heb “and act and give to each one according to all his ways because you know his heart.” In the Hebrew text vv. 28-30a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided up for stylistic reasons.

¹¹ tn Heb “Indeed you know, you alone, the heart of all the sons of mankind.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “look.”

¹¹ tn Heb “all the people.”

¹² tn Heb “five cubits.” Assuming a cubit of 18 inches (45 cm), the length would have been 7.5 feet (2.25 m).

¹³ tn Heb “five cubits.”

¹⁴ tn Heb “three cubits.” Assuming a cubit of 18 inches (45 cm), the height would have been 4.5 feet (1.35 m).

¹³ 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.

¹⁴ 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.”

¹⁴ tn Heb “at,” which in this case probably means “near.”

¹⁵ tn Heb “the priests in the fields of the pastureland of their cities in every city and city.”

¹⁶ tn Heb “designated by names.”
