[3:2]  ¹ sn This would be April-May, 966 b.c. by modern reckoning.

[30:13]  ² tn The Hebrew text adds here, “a very large assembly.” This has not been translated to avoid redundancy with the expression “a huge crowd” at the beginning of the verse.

[27:5]  ³ tn Heb “he fought with.”

[27:5]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew word כִּכַּר (kikar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or, by extension, to a standard unit of weight. According to the older (Babylonian) standard the “talent” weighed 130 lbs. (58.9 kg), but later this was lowered to 108.3 lbs. (49.1 kg). More recent research suggests the “light” standard talent was 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg). Using this as the standard for calculation, the weight of the silver was 6,730 lbs. (3,060 kg).

[27:5]  ⁵ sn As a unit of dry measure a kor was roughly equivalent to six bushels (about 220 liters).

[27:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “10,000 kors of wheat and 10,000 of barley.” The unit of measure of the barley is omitted in the Hebrew text, but is understood to be “kors,” the same as the measures of wheat.

[27:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “This the sons of Ammon brought to him, and in the second year and the third.”

[34:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “and those who [were sent by] the king.”

[34:22]  ⁵ tn The parallel account in 2 Kgs 22:14 has the variant spelling “son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas.”

[34:22]  ⁶ tn Heb “the keeper of the clothes.”

[34:22]  ⁷ tn Or “second.” For a discussion of the possible location of this district, see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 283.

[34:22]  ⁸ tn Heb “and they spoke to her like this.”

[31:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “tenth.”

[31:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “and holy things in faithfulness.”

[35:24]  ⁷ tn Heb “fathers.”

[3:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the wing of the one (הָאֶחָד, ha’ekhad, “the one”; this should probably be emended to הָאַחֵר, ha’akher, “the other”) cherub was five cubits, touching the wall of the house, and the other wing was five cubits, clinging to the wing of the other cherub.”

[3:11]  ⁸ tn Heb “and the wings of the cherubs, their length was twenty cubits.” Assuming a cubit of 18 inches (45 cm), the wingspan of the cherubs would have been 30 feet (9 m).

[3:11]  ⁹ tn Heb “the wing of the one was five cubits from the touching of the wall of the house, and the other wing was five cubits from the touching of the wing of the other cherub.” Assuming a cubit of 18 inches (45 cm), each wing would have been 7.5 feet (2.25 m) long.

[21:19]  ⁹ tn Heb “and it was to days from days, and about the time of the going out of the end for the days, two, his intestines came out with his illness and he died in severe illness.”

[21:19]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and his people did not make for him a fire, like the fire of his fathers.”

[23:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “all the people.”

[32:5]  ¹¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Hezekiah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[32:5]  ¹² tn Heb “strengthened himself and built.”

[32:5]  ¹³ tn Heb “and outside the wall another one.”

[32:5]  ¹⁴ sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.
