[3:4]  ¹ tc Heb “and the porch which was in front of the length corresponding to the width of the house, twenty cubits.” The phrase הֵיכַל הַבַּיִת (heykhal habbayit, “the main hall of the temple,” which appears in the parallel account in 1 Kgs 6:3) has been accidentally omitted by homoioarcton after עַל־פְּנֵי (’al-pÿney, “in front of”). Note that the following form, הָאֹרֶךְ (ha’orekh, “the length”), also begins with the Hebrew letter he (ה). A scribe’s eye probably jumped from the initial he on הֵיכַל to the initial he on הָאֹרֶךְ, leaving out the intervening letters in the process.

[3:4]  ² tc The Hebrew text has “one hundred and twenty cubits,” i.e. (assuming a cubit of 18 inches) 180 feet (54 m). An ancient Greek witness and the Syriac version read “twenty cubits,” i.e., 30 feet (9 m). It is likely that מֵאָה (me’ah, “a hundred”), is a corruption of an original אַמּוֹת (’ammot, “cubits”).

[9:16]  ³ tn The Hebrew text has simply “300,” with no unit of measure given.

[9:16]  ⁴ sn This name was appropriate because of the large amount of cedar, undoubtedly brought from Lebanon, used in its construction. The cedar pillars in the palace must have given it the appearance of a forest. See 1 Kgs 7:2.

[11:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “and after them from all the tribes of Israel, the ones giving their heart[s] to seek the Lord God of Israel came [to] Jerusalem.”

[11:16]  ⁶ tn Heb “fathers.”

[19:2]  ⁷ tn Or “seer.”

[19:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “went out to his face.”

[19:2]  ⁹ tn Heb “and love those who hate the Lord?”

[19:2]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and because of this upon you is anger from before the Lord.”

[20:23]  ⁹ tn Heb “the sons of Ammon and Moab stood against the residents of Mount Seir.”

[20:23]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “to annihilate and to destroy.”

[20:23]  ¹¹ tn Heb “residents.”

[20:23]  ¹² tn Heb “they helped, each one his fellow, for destruction.” The verb עָזַר (’azar), traditionally understood as the well-attested verb meaning “to help,” is an odd fit in this context. It is possible that it is from a homonymic root, perhaps meaning to “attack.” This root is attested in Ugaritic in a nominal form meaning “young man, warrior, hero.” For a discussion of the proposed root, see HALOT 811 s.v. II עזר.

[22:5]  ¹¹ sn Jehoram and Joram are alternate spellings of the Israelite king’s name (also in vv. 6-7). The shorter form is used in these verse to avoid confusion with King Jehoram of Judah, father of Azariah.

[22:5]  ¹² tn Heb “Aram” (also in v. 6).

[25:13]  ¹³ tn Heb “had sent back from going with him to the battle.”

[25:13]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “stripped.”

[25:13]  ¹⁵ map For location see Map2 B1; Map4 D3; Map5 E2; Map6 A4; Map7 C1.

[25:13]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “struck down.”

[25:17]  ¹⁵ tn The words “with his advisers” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[25:17]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “let us look at each other [in the] face.” The expression refers here not to a visit but to meeting in battle. See v. 21.

[25:19]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “you say [to yourself], ‘look, you have defeated Edom.’”

[25:19]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “and your heart is lifted up.”

[25:19]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “to glorify.”

[25:19]  ²⁰ tn Heb “Why get involved in calamity and fall, you and Judah with you?”

[28:18]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “Shephelah.”

[30:16]  ²¹ tn Heb “from the hand of the Levites.”

[32:7]  ²³ tn Or perhaps, “and don’t be discouraged.”

[32:7]  ²⁴ tn Heb “for with us [is] a greater [one] than with him.”

[32:8]  ²⁵ tn Heb “With him is an arm of flesh.”

[32:8]  ²⁶ tn Or “people.”

[32:26]  ²⁷ tn Heb “and Hezekiah humbled himself in the height of his heart, he and the residents of Jerusalem, and the anger of the Lord did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.”
