[14:4]  ⁸ tn Heb “his eyes were set because of his old age.”

[14:14]  ⁹ tn Heb “house.”

[14:14]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “This is the day. What also now?” The precise meaning of the second half of the statement is uncertain.

[14:19]  ¹¹ tn Heb “As for the rest of the events of Jeroboam, how he fought and how he ruled, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?”

[14:20]  ¹³ tn Heb “lay down with his fathers.”

[16:3]  ¹⁷ tn The traditional view understands the verb בָּעַר (ba’ar) to mean “burn.” However, an alternate view takes בָּעַר (ba’ar) as a homonym meaning “sweep away” (HALOT 146 s.v. II בער).
