25:3 From the sons of Jeduthun: ⁷  Gedaliah, Zeri, ⁸  Jeshaiah, ⁹  Hashabiah, and Mattithiah – six in all, ¹⁰  under supervision of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied as he played a harp, giving thanks and praise to the Lord.

1 Chronicles 29:7

29:7 They donated for the service of God’s temple 5,000 talents ¹¹  and ten thousand darics ¹²  of gold, 10,000 talents of silver, 18,000 talents of bronze, and 100,000 talents of iron.

[11:11]  ¹ tn Heb “and these are the number of the warriors who were David’s.”

[11:11]  ² tc The marginal reading (Qere) has “officers;” the consonantal text (Kethib) has “the Thirty” (see v. 15).

[11:11]  ³ tn Heb “he was wielding his spear against 300, [who were] slain at one time.”

[11:20]  ⁴ tc The Syriac reads “thirty” here and at the beginning of v. 21; this reading is followed by some English translations (cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV, NLT).

[11:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “he was wielding his spear against three hundred, [who were] slain.”

[11:20]  ⁶ tn Heb “and to him [reading with the Qere] there was a name among the three.”

[25:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “belonging to Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun.”

[25:3]  ⁸ tn This name appears as “Izri” in v. 10.

[25:3]  ⁹ tc One Hebrew ms and some LXX mss supply the name “Shimei” after “Jeshaiah.” Most Hebrew mss omit the name here (but cf. v. 17).

[25:3]  ¹⁰ tc The list includes only five names. Apparently the name “Shimei” (see v. 17), which appears in one medieval Hebrew ms and in the LXX, has been accidentally omitted from the Hebrew text.

[29:7]  ¹⁰ tn See the note on the word “talents” in 19:6. Using the “light” standard talent of 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg) as the standard for calculation, the people donated 168.3 tons (153,000 kg) of gold, 336.5 tons (306,000 kg) of silver, 605.7 tons (550,800 kg) of bronze, and 3,365 tons (3,060,000 kg) of iron.

[29:7]  ¹¹ tn On the “daric” as a unit of measure, see BDB 204 s.v. דַּרְכְּמוֹן. Some have regarded the daric as a minted coin, perhaps even referring to the Greek drachma, but this is less likely.
