[1:15]  ¹ tn The words “as plentiful” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[1:15]  ² tn Heb “he made.”

[1:15]  ³ tn Heb “as the sycamore fig trees which are in the Shephelah.”

[5:10]  ⁴ sn Horeb is another name for Mount Sinai (cf. Exod 3:1).

[5:10]  ⁵ tn Heb “in Horeb where.”

[8:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “Huram” (also in v. 18). Some medieval Hebrew mss, along with the LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate spell the name “Hiram,” agreeing with 1 Chr 14:1. “Huram” is a variant spelling referring to the same individual.

[8:9]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and from the sons of Israel which Solomon did not assign to the laborers for his work.”

[8:9]  ¹¹ tn Heb “officers of his chariots and his horses.”

[9:23]  ¹³ tn Heb “and all the kings of the earth were seeking the face of Solomon to hear his wisdom which God had placed in his heart.”

[9:27]  ¹⁶ tn The words “as plentiful” are supplied for clarification.

[9:27]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “he made cedar.”

[9:27]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “as the sycamore fig trees which are in the Shephelah.”

[10:4]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “made our yoke burdensome.”

[10:4]  ²⁰ tn Heb “but you, now, lighten the burdensome work of your father and the heavy yoke which he placed on us, and we will serve you.” In the Hebrew text the prefixed verbal form with vav (וְנַעַבְדֶךָ, vÿna’avdekha, “and we will serve you”) following the imperative (הָקֵל, haqel, “lighten”) indicates purpose/result. The conditional sentence used in the present translation is an attempt to bring out the logical relationship between these forms.

[13:5]  ²² tn Heb “Do you not know that the Lord God of Israel has given kingship to David over Israel permanently, to him and to his sons [by] a covenant of salt?”

[20:22]  ²⁵ tn Heb “set ambushers against.” This is probably idiomatic here for launching a surprise attack.

[20:22]  ²⁶ tn Heb “the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir.”

[32:24]  ²⁸ tn Heb “was sick to the point of dying.”

[32:24]  ²⁹ tn Heb “and he spoke to him and a sign he gave to him.”
