[1:52]  ¹ tn Heb “if he is a man of strength [or ability].” In this context, where Adonijah calls himself a “servant,” implying allegiance to the new king, the phrase אִישׁ חַיִל (’ish khayil) probably carries the sense of “a worthy man,” that is, “loyal” (see HALOT 311 s.v. חַיִל).

[1:52]  ² tn Heb “but if evil is found in him.”

[7:15]  ³ tn Heb “eighteen cubits.”

[7:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “twelve cubits.”

[7:35]  ⁵ tn Heb “and on top of the stand, a half cubit [in] height, round all around” (the meaning of this description is uncertain).

[8:19]  ⁷ tn Heb “your son, the one who came out of your body, he will build the temple for my name.”
