[1:5]  ¹ tn Heb “son of Haggith,” but since this formula usually designates the father (who in this case was David), the translation specifies that David was Adonijah’s father.

[1:5]  ² tn Heb “lifting himself up.”

[1:5]  ³ tn Heb “saying.”

[1:5]  ⁴ tn Or “he acquired for himself.”

[1:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “to run ahead of him.”

[18:22]  ⁶ tn Heb “to the people.”

[7:2]  ¹¹ tn Heb “he built.”

[7:2]  ¹² sn The Palace of the Lebanon Forest. This name was appropriate because of the large amount of cedar, undoubtedly brought from Lebanon, used in its construction. The cedar pillars in the palace must have given it the appearance of a forest.

[7:2]  ¹³ tn Heb “one hundred cubits.”

[7:2]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “fifty cubits.”

[7:2]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “thirty cubits.”

[18:19]  ¹⁶ tn The word “messengers” is supplied in the translation both here and in v. 20 for clarification.
