[24:25]  ¹ tn Heb “him”; the referent (Joash) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:25]  ² tn Heb “because of the shed blood of.”

[24:25]  ³ tc The MT has the plural בְּנֵי (bÿney, “sons”), but the final yod is dittographic. Note the yod that immediately follows.

[24:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “and he died.”

[24:25]  ⁵ sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.

[25:27]  ⁶ tn Heb “and they conspired against him [with] a conspiracy in Jerusalem.”

[25:27]  ⁷ tn Heb “and they sent after him to Lachish.”

[25:2]  ¹² tn Heb “a complete heart.”

[4:5]  ¹³ tn Heb “3,000 baths” (note that the capacity is given in 1 Kings 7:26 as “2,000 baths”). A bath was a liquid measure roughly equivalent to six gallons (about 22 liters), so 3,000 baths was a quantity of about 18,000 gallons (66,000 liters).

[4:9]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and the doors for the enclosure.”

[4:11]  ¹⁵ 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]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “Huram finished doing all the work which he did for King Solomon [on] the house of God.”

[4:12]  ¹⁷ tn The words “he made” are added for stylistic reasons.

[4:2]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “He made the sea, cast.”

[4:2]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “ten cubits.” Assuming a cubit of 18 inches (45 cm), the diameter would have been 15 feet (4.5 m).
