2 Chronicles 23:9

2 Chronicles 24:13

24:13 They worked hard and made the repairs. ⁶  They followed the measurements specified for God’s temple and restored it. ⁷ 

[3:3]  ¹ tn Heb “and these are the founding of Solomon to build the house of God.”

[3:3]  ² tn Heb “the length [in] cubits by the former measure was sixty cubits, and a width of twenty cubits.” Assuming a length of 18 inches (45 cm) for the standard cubit, the length of the foundation would be 90 feet (27 m) and its width 30 feet (9 m).

[4:11]  ³ 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]  ⁴ tn Heb “Huram finished doing all the work which he did for King Solomon [on] the house of God.”

[23:9]  ⁵ 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”).

[24:13]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the doers of the work worked, and the repairs went up for the work by their hand.”

[24:13]  ⁸ tn Heb “and they caused the house of God to stand according to its measurements and they strengthened it.”
