1 tn Heb “held tight,” or “clung to.”
2 tc The Hebrew text has the singular, “it.” Some ancient witnesses read the plural, which seems preferable since the antecedent (“sins”) is plural. Another option is to emend the plural “sins” to a singular. One ancient Greek witness has the singular “sin.”

4 tn Heb “walked after.”
5 tn Heb “he did not turn aside from it.”
5 tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

13 tc The MT of v. 18 ends with the words, “all his days.” If this phrase is taken with what precedes, then one should translate, “[who encouraged Israel to sin] throughout his reign.” However, it may be preferable to emend the text to בְיֹמָיו (bÿyomav), “in his days,” and join the phrase to what follows. The translation assumes this change.
13 tn Heb “in the eyes of.”
14 tn Heb “turn away from.”
15 tn Heb “in the eyes of.”
16 tn Heb “turn away from.”
