[3:16]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text adds here, “in the inner sanctuary,” but the description at this point is of the pillars, not the inner sanctuary.

[17:2]  ² tn Or perhaps, “governors.”

[20:3]  ³ tn Heb “and he set his face to seek the Lord.”

[1:15]  ⁴ tn The words “as plentiful” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[1:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “he made.”

[1:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “as the sycamore fig trees which are in the Shephelah.”

[9:27]  ⁵ tn The words “as plentiful” are supplied for clarification.

[9:27]  ⁶ tn Heb “he made cedar.”

[9:27]  ⁷ tn Heb “as the sycamore fig trees which are in the Shephelah.”

[11:23]  ⁶ tn Heb “and he was discerning and broke up from all his sons to all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, to all the fortified cities.”

[11:23]  ⁷ tn “and he asked for a multitude of wives.”

[23:9]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew text lists two different types of shields here. Most translations render “the large and small shields” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV; NEB “King David’s spears, shields, and bucklers”).

[28:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “divided up,” but some read חִלֵּץ (khillets, “despoiled”).

[32:6]  ⁹ tn Heb “and he placed officers of war over the people.”

[32:6]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “he spoke to their heart[s].”

[18:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Should we go against Ramoth Gilead for war or should I refrain?”

[18:5]  ¹¹ 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.
