[1:33] 2 tn The plural form is used in the Hebrew text to indicate honor and authority.
[1:33] 3 tn Heb “mount Solomon my son on the mule that belongs to me and take him down to Gihon.”
[2:35] 8 tc The Old Greek translation includes after v. 35 some fourteen verses that are absent from the MT.
[4:31] 10 tn Heb “his name was in all the surrounding nations.”
[13:12] 13 tn The Hebrew text has “and his sons saw” (וַיִּרְאוּ [vayyir’u], Qal from רָאָה [ra’ah]). In this case the verbal construction (vav consecutive + prefixed verbal form) would have to be understood as pluperfect, “his sons had seen.” Such uses of this construction are rare at best. Consequently many, following the lead of the ancient versions, prefer to emend the verbal form to a Hiphil with pronominal suffix (וַיַּרְאֻהוּ [vayyar’uhu], “and they showed him”).
