1 Chronicles 17:1

God Makes a Promise to David

17:1 When David had settled into his palace, ²  he ³  said to Nathan the prophet, “Look, I am living in a palace ⁴  made from cedar, while the ark of the Lord’s covenant is under a tent.” ⁵ 

[2:18]  ¹ tn Heb “and Caleb son of Hezron fathered [children] with Azubah, a wife, and with Jerioth.” Jerioth could be viewed as a second wife (so NLT; cf. also NASB, NIV, NRSV), but the following context mentions only “her [presumably Azubah’s] sons.” Another option, the one chosen in the translation, is that Jerioth is another name for Azubah.

[17:1]  ² tn Heb “house.”

[17:1]  ³ tn Heb “David.” The pronoun “he” has been used in the translation here to avoid redundancy in keeping with contemporary English style.

[17:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “house.”

[17:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “tent curtains.”
