[7:34]  ¹ tn Heb “four shoulders to the four sides of each stand, from the stand its shoulders.” The precise meaning of the description is uncertain.

[7:27]  ² tn Heb “four cubits.”

[7:27]  ³ tn Heb “four cubits.”

[7:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “three cubits.”

[7:30]  ³ tn The precise meaning of this last word, translated “wreaths,” is uncertain.

[7:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “the capitals which were on the top of the pillars were the work of lilies, in the porch, four cubits.” It is unclear exactly what dimension is being measured.

[18:19]  ⁵ tn The word “messengers” is supplied in the translation both here and in v. 20 for clarification.

[18:19]  ⁶ tn Heb “who eat at the table of Jezebel.”

[7:32]  ⁶ tn Heb “a cubit-and-a-half” (a cubit was a unit of measure roughly equivalent to 18 inches or 45 cm).

[9:28]  ⁷ tn Heb “went.”

[9:28]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew term כִּכָּר (kikkar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or to a standard unit of weight, generally regarded as a talent. Since the accepted weight for a talent of metal is about 75 pounds, this would have amounted to about 31,500 pounds of gold (cf. NCV); CEV, NLT “sixteen tons”; TEV “more than 14,000 kilogrammes.”

[18:22]  ⁸ tn Heb “to the people.”

[6:1]  ⁹ sn During the month Ziv. This would be April-May, 966 b.c. by modern reckoning.

[7:2]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “he built.”

[7:2]  ¹¹ sn The Palace of the Lebanon Forest. This name was appropriate because of the large amount of cedar, undoubtedly brought from Lebanon, used in its construction. The cedar pillars in the palace must have given it the appearance of a forest.

[7:2]  ¹² tn Heb “one hundred cubits.”

[7:2]  ¹³ tn Heb “fifty cubits.”

[7:2]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “thirty cubits.”

[7:38]  ¹¹ tn Heb “forty baths” (a bath was a liquid measure roughly equivalent to six gallons).

[7:38]  ¹² tn Heb “four cubits, each basin.” It is unclear which dimension is being measured.

[8:65]  ¹² tn Or “the Wadi of Egypt” (NAB, NIV, NRSV); CEV “the Egyptian Gorge.”

[8:65]  ¹³ tn Heb “Solomon held at that time the festival, and all Israel was with him, a great assembly from Lebo Hamath to the Brook of Egypt, before the Lord our God for seven days and seven days, fourteen days.”

[10:26]  ¹³ tn Or “gathered.”

[10:26]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “he placed them in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.”

[22:6]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “Should I go against Ramoth Gilead for war or should I refrain?”

[22:6]  ¹⁵ 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.
