[2:25]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text adds, “by the hand of.”

[2:25]  ² tn Heb “and he struck him and he died.”

[2:34]  ³ tn Heb “struck him and killed him.” The referent (Joab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:52]  ⁵ 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]  ⁶ tn Heb “but if evil is found in him.”

[2:46]  ⁷ tn “The king commanded Benaiah son of Jehoiada and he went out and struck him down and he died.”

[2:46]  ⁸ tn “And the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.”

[8:31]  ⁹ tn Heb “and forgive the man who sins against his neighbor when one takes up against him a curse to curse him and the curse comes before your altar in this house.” In the Hebrew text the words “and forgive” conclude v. 30, but the accusative sign at the beginning of v. 31 suggests the verb actually goes with what follows in v. 31. The parallel text in 2 Chr 6:22 begins with “and if,” rather than the accusative sign. In this case “forgive” must be taken with what precedes, and v. 31 must be taken as the protasis (“if” clause) of a conditional sentence, with v. 32 being the apodosis (“then” clause) that completes the sentence.
