[14:16]  ¹ tn Heb “and he will give [up] Israel.”

[2:17]  ² tn Heb “Say to Solomon the king, for he will not turn back your face, that he might give to me Abishag the Shunammite for a wife.”

[2:35]  ³ tn Heb “over.”

[2:35]  ⁴ tc The Old Greek translation includes after v. 35 some fourteen verses that are absent from the MT.

[4:29]  ⁴ tn Heb “heart,” i.e., mind. (The Hebrew term translated “heart” often refers to the mental faculties.)

[10:27]  ⁵ tn The words “as plentiful” are added for clarification.

[10:27]  ⁶ tn Heb “he made.”

[10:27]  ⁷ tn Heb “as the sycamore fig trees which are in the Shephelah.”

[11:19]  ⁶ tn Heb “and Hadad found great favor in the eyes of Pharaoh.”

[11:19]  ⁷ tn Heb “and he gave to him a wife, the sister of his wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.”

[6:27]  ⁷ tn Heb “in the midst of the inner house,” i.e., in the inner sanctuary.

[6:27]  ⁸ tn Heb “and their wings were in the middle of the room, touching wing to wing.”

[11:18]  ⁸ tn Heb “and they arose from Midian and went to Paran and they took men with them from Paran and went to Egypt to Pharaoh king of Egypt and he gave to him a house and food and he said to him, and a land he gave to him.” Something seems to be accidentally omitted after “and he said to him.”

[19:21]  ⁹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elijah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:21]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and with the equipment of the oxen he cooked them, the flesh.”

[22:6]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Should I go against Ramoth Gilead for war or should I refrain?”

[22:6]  ¹¹ tn Though Jehoshaphat requested an oracle from “the Lord” (יְהוָה, Yahweh), they stop short of actually using this name and substitute the title אֲדֹנָי (’adonai, “lord; master”). This ambiguity may explain in part Jehoshaphat’s hesitancy and caution (vv. 7-8). He seems to doubt that the four hundred are genuine prophets of the Lord.

[2:5]  ¹¹ tn Heb “what he did to the two commanders…and he killed them.”

[2:5]  ¹² tn Heb “he shed the blood of battle in peace.”

[2:5]  ¹³ tn Heb “and he shed the blood of battle when he killed which is on his waist and on his sandal[s] which are on his feet.” That is, he covered himself with guilt and his guilt was obvious to all who saw him.
