[1:9]  ¹ tn Heb “you word.”

[1:9]  ² tn Or “be firm, established.”

[2:11]  ³ tn Heb “Huram” (also in v. 12). 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.

[6:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “Because it was with your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was with your heart.”

[6:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “listen to the requests of your servant and your people Israel which they are praying concerning this place.”

[10:4]  ¹² 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.
