The People Contribute to the Temple

[10:10]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Rehoboam) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:10]  ² tn Heb “Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter upon us.”

[10:10]  ³ tn Heb “My little one is thicker than my father’s hips.” The referent of “my little one” is not clear. The traditional view is that it refers to the little finger (so NEB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). As the following statement makes clear, Rehoboam’s point is that he is more harsh and demanding than his father.

[19:11]  ¹ tn Heb “and look, Amariah the chief priest is over you with respect to every matter of the Lord, and Zebadiah…with respect to every matter of the king.”

[19:11]  ² tn Heb “Be strong and act!”

[23:18]  ¹ tn Heb “as it is written in.”

[31:2]  ¹ tn Heb “and Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites according to their divisions, each in accordance with his service for the priests and for the Levites.”

[31:2]  ² tn Heb “in the gates of the encampments of the Lord.”
