[1:3]  ¹ tn Or “high place.”

[1:3]  ² tn Heb “the tent of meeting of God.”

[4:11]  ³ tn Heb “Huram,” but here this refers to Huram Abi (2 Chr 2:13). The complete name has been used in the translation to avoid possible confusion with King Huram of Tyre.

[4:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “Huram finished doing all the work which he did for King Solomon [on] the house of God.”

[8:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Solomon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:14]  ⁶ tn Heb “and the Levites, according to their posts, to praise and to serve opposite the priests according to the matter of a day in its day.”

[8:14]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the gatekeepers by their divisions for a gate and a gate.”

[8:14]  ⁸ tn Heb “for so [was] the command of David the man of God.”

[10:15]  ⁷ tn Heb “because this turn of events was from God.”

[10:15]  ⁸ tn Heb “so that the Lord might bring to pass his word which he spoke.”

[18:5]  ¹² tn Though Jehoshaphat had requested an oracle from “the Lord” (יְהוָה, yÿhvah, “Yahweh”), the Israelite prophets stop short of actually using this name and substitute the title הָאֱלֹהִים (ha’elohim, “the God”). This ambiguity may explain in part Jehoshaphat’s hesitancy and caution (vv. 7-8). He seems to doubt that the 400 are genuine prophets of the Lord.

[23:3]  ¹³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jehoiada the priest, cf. v. 8) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:20]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “clothed.”
