1 Chronicles 28:5

28:5 From all the many sons the Lord has given me, he chose Solomon my son to rule on his behalf over Israel. ³ 

[2:42]  ¹ tc Heb “and the sons of Mareshah,” but this does not fit contextually. Perhaps the text originally had וּבְנוֹ מִשְׁנֶה מָרֵשָׁה (uvÿno mishneh mareshah, “and his second son, Mareshah”), with מִשְׁנֶה (“second”) later accidentally falling out by homoioteleuton (cf. the note in BHS here).

[7:3]  ² tn The Hebrew text has the plural “sons,” but only one son is listed.

[28:5]  ³ tn Heb “from all my sons, for many sons the Lord has given to me, he chose Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.”
