1 tn Heb “the River.” In biblical Hebrew the Euphrates River was typically referred to simply as “the River.”
2 tn Or “a fine.”
3 tn The Hebrew word כִּכַּר (kikar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or, by extension, to a standard unit of weight. According to the older (Babylonian) standard the “talent” weighed 130 lbs. (58.9 kg), but later this was lowered to 108.3 lbs. (49.1 kg). More recent research suggests the “light” standard talent was 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg). Using this as the standard for calculation, the weight of the silver was 6,730 lbs. (3,060 kg).
3 tn Heb “and his name went to.”
4 tn Heb “saying.”
5 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.
5 tn Heb “Solomon held the festival at that time for seven days, and all Israel was with him, a very great assembly from Lebo Hamath to the wadi of Egypt.”
6 tn Heb “and they will say.”
7 tn Heb “fathers.”
8 tn Heb “and they took hold of other gods and bowed down to them and served them.”
7 tn Heb “now, look, the sons of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir.”
8 tn Heb “whom you did not allow Israel to enter when they came from the land of Egypt.”
8 tn Heb “After all this, [by] which Josiah prepared the temple.”
9 tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
9 tn Heb “his”; the referent (Jehoahaz) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
