1 Kings 21:8

Ecclesiastes 8:4

Daniel 4:1

[21:8]  ¹ tn Heb “scrolls.”

[21:8]  ² tn Heb “in the name of Ahab.”

[21:8]  ³ tn Heb “scrolls.”

[21:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “elders.”

[21:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “to the nobles who were in his city, the ones who lived with Naboth.”

[8:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “word.”

[8:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “supreme.”

[8:4]  ⁸ tn Heb “Who can say…?”

[4:1]  ⁹ sn Beginning with 4:1, the verse numbers through 4:37 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Aramaic text (BHS), with 4:1 ET = 3:31 AT, 4:2 ET = 3:32 AT, 4:3 ET = 3:33 AT, 4:4 ET = 4:1 AT, etc., through 4:37 ET = 4:34 AT. Thus Dan 3:31-33 of the Aramaic text appears as Dan 4:1-3 in the English Bible, and the corresponding verses of ch. 4 differ accordingly. In spite of the division of the Aramaic text, a good case can be made that 3:31-33 AT (= 4:1-3 ET) is actually the introduction to ch. 4.
