[28:5]  ¹ 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.”

[29:22]  ² tn Heb “they ate and drank.”

[29:22]  ³ tn Heb “with great joy.”

[29:22]  ⁴ sn See 1 Chr 23:1, where David had previously designated Solomon as king over Israel.

[29:23]  ⁵ tn Heb “listened to him.”

[29:24]  ⁶ tn Heb “placed a hand under Solomon the king.”

[29:25]  ⁷ tn Heb “and gave to him glory of kingship which there was not concerning every king before him over Israel.”

[29:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “a young man and tender.”

[1:36]  ⁹ tc Many medieval Hebrew mss, along with some LXX mss and the Syriac, read “Zepho” (see Gen 36:11).

[1:36]  ¹⁰ tn The Hebrew text has simply, “and Timna and Amalek,” but Gen 36:12 indicates that Timna, a concubine of Eliphaz, was the mother of Amalek. See also v. 39 below, which states that Timna was the sister of Lotan.

[1:39]  ¹¹ tn Perhaps this is the Timna mentioned in v. 36.
