[2:12]  ¹ tn Heb “who has given to David a wise son [who] knows discernment and insight, who will build a house for the Lord and house for his kingship.”

[9:29]  ² tn Heb “As for the rest of the events of Solomon, the former and the latter, are they not written?”

[10:16]  ³ sn The people’s point seems to be that they have no familial relationship with David that brings them any benefits or places upon them any obligations. They are being treated like outsiders.

[10:16]  ⁴ tn Heb “each one to your tents, Israel.” The word “return” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[10:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “Now see your house, David.”

[10:16]  ⁶ tn Heb “went to their tents.”

[18:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “to seek the Lord from him.”

[33:7]  ⁹ tn Heb “In this house and in Jerusalem, which I chose from all the tribes of Israel, I will place my name permanently” (or perhaps “forever”).
