[10:1]  1 tn Heb “the report about Solomon.” The Hebrew text also has, “to the name of the Lord,” which fits very awkwardly in the sentence. If retained, perhaps it should be translated, “because of the reputation of the Lord.” The phrase, which is omitted in the parallel passage in 2 Chr 9:1, may be an addition based on the queen’s declaration of praise to the Lord in v. 9.

[10:1]  2 tn Or “test.”

[10:1]  3 tn Or “riddles.”

[22:19]  4 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Micaiah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[3:9]  7 tn Heb “a hearing heart.” (The Hebrew term translated “heart” often refers to the mental faculties.)

[3:9]  8 tn Heb “to judge.”

[3:9]  9 tn Heb “to understand between good and evil.”

[3:9]  10 tn Heb “for”; the word “otherwise” is used to reflect the logical sense of the statement.

[3:9]  11 tn Heb “who is able?” The rhetorical question anticipates the answer, “no one.”

[3:9]  12 tn Heb “to judge.”

[3:9]  13 tn Heb “your numerous people.”

[5:1]  10 sn The verse numbers in the English Bible differ from those in the Hebrew text (BHS) here; 5:1-18 in the English Bible corresponds to 5:15-32 in the Hebrew text. See the note at 4:21.

[5:1]  11 map For location see Map1 A2; Map2 G2; Map4 A1; JP3 F3; JP4 F3.

[5:1]  12 tn Heb “his servants.”

[11:21]  13 tn Heb “lay down with his fathers.”

[11:21]  14 tn Heb “send me away.”

[12:15]  16 tn Heb “because this turn of events was from the Lord.

[12:15]  17 tn Heb “so that he might bring to pass his word which the Lord spoke.”

[12:16]  19 sn We have no portion in David; no share in the son of Jesse. Their point seems to be that they have no familial relationship with David that brings them any benefits or places upon them any obligations. They are being treated like outsiders.

[12:16]  20 tn Heb “to your tents, Israel.” The word “return” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[12:16]  21 tn Heb “Now see your house, David.”

[12:16]  22 tn Heb “went to their tents.”
