[12:1]  ¹ tn Heb “come [to].”

[12:1]  ² tn Heb “him”; the referent (Rehoboam) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:1]  ³ tn Heb “come [to].”

[3:10]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew term translated “Lord” here and in v.15 is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

[1:7]  ⁷ tc The reading ᾿Ασάφ (Asaf), a variant spelling on ᾿Ασά (Asa), is found in the earliest and most widespread witnesses (Ì^1vid א B C [D^luc] Ë^1,13 700 pc it co). Although Asaph was a psalmist and Asa was a king, it is doubtful that the author mistook one for the other since other ancient documents have variant spellings on the king’s name (such as “Asab,” “Asanos,” and “Asaph”). Thus the spelling ᾿Ασάφ that is almost surely found in the original of Matt 1:7-8 has been translated as “Asa” in keeping with the more common spelling of the king’s name.
