[7:51]  ¹ tn Heb “Solomon.” The proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[11:39]  ² tn Heb “but not all the days.”

[12:10]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Rehoboam) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:10]  ² tn Heb “Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter upon us.”

[12:10]  ³ tn Heb “My little one is thicker than my father’s hips.” The referent of “my little one” is not clear. The traditional view is that it refers to the little finger. As the following statement makes clear, Rehoboam’s point is that he is more harsh and demanding than his father.

[20:34]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Ben Hadad) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:34]  ² tn Heb “streets,” but this must refer to streets set up with stalls for merchants to sell their goods. See HALOT 299 s.v. חוּץ.

[20:34]  ³ map For location see Map2 B1; Map4 D3; Map5 E2; Map6 A4; Map7 C1.

[20:34]  ⁴ tn Heb “I will send you away with a treaty.” The words “Ahab then said” are supplied in the translation. There is nothing in the Hebrew text to indicate that the speaker has changed from Ben Hadad to Ahab. Some suggest adding “and he said” before “I will send you away.” Others prefer to maintain Ben Hadad as the speaker and change the statement to, “Please send me away with a treaty.”
