20:25 Jehoshaphat and his men ⁶  went to gather the plunder; they found a huge amount of supplies, clothing ⁷  and valuable items. They carried away everything they could. ⁸  There was so much plunder, it took them three days to haul it off. ⁹

[5:13]  ¹ tn Heb “like one were the trumpeters and the musicians, causing one voice to be heard, praising and giving thanks to the Lord, and while raising a voice with trumpets and with cymbals and with instruments of music, and while praising the Lord.”

[5:13]  ² tn Heb “and the house was filled with a cloud, the house of the Lord.”

[7:6]  ¹ tn Heb “and the priests were standing at their posts, and the Levites with the instruments of music of the Lord.”

[7:6]  ² tn Heb “which David the king made to give thanks to the Lord, for lasting is his loyal love, when David praised by them.”

[7:6]  ³ tn Heb “opposite them”; the referent (the Levites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:25]  ¹ tn Or “army.”

[20:25]  ² tc The MT reads פְגָרִים (fÿgarim, “corpses”), but this seems odd among a list of plunder. A few medieval Hebrew mss and the Vulgate read בְגָדִים (vÿgadim, “clothing”), which fits the context much better.

[20:25]  ³ tn Heb “and they snatched away for themselves so that there was no carrying away.”

[20:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “and they were three days looting the plunder for it was great.”

[23:13]  ¹ tn Heb “and she saw, and behold.”

[23:13]  ² tn Or “Conspiracy! Conspiracy!”

[30:21]  ¹ tn Heb “and they were praising the Lord day by day, the Levites and the priests with instruments of strength to the Lord.” The phrase בִּכְלֵי־עֹז (bikhley-’oz, “with instruments of strength”) might refer to loud sounding musical instruments (NASB “with loud instruments”; NEB “with unrestrained fervour”). The present translation assumes an emendation to בְּכָל־עֹז (bÿkhol-’oz, “with all strength”); see 1 Chr 13:8, as well as HALOT 805 s.v. I עֹז and BDB 739 s.v. עֹז).

[36:10]  ¹ tn Heb “sent and brought him.”

[36:10]  ² tn Heb “and he made Zedekiah his brother king.” According to the parallel text in 2 Kgs 24:17, Zedekiah was Jehoiachin’s uncle, not his brother. Therefore many interpreters understand אח here in its less specific sense of “relative” (NEB “made his father’s brother Zedekiah king”; NASB “made his kinsman Zedekiah king”; NIV “made Jehoiachin’s uncle, Zedekiah, king”; NRSV “made his brother Zedekiah king”).
