[5:11]  ¹ tn Heb “and when the priests went from the holy place.” The syntactical relationship of this temporal clause to the following context is unclear. Perhaps the thought is completed in v. 14 after a lengthy digression.

[5:11]  ² tn Heb “Indeed [or “for”] all the priests who were found consecrated themselves without guarding divisions.”

[6:14]  ³ tn Heb “said.”

[6:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “one who keeps the covenant and the loyal love.”

[6:14]  ⁵ tn Heb “who walk before you with all their heart.”

[6:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “[you] who kept to your servant David my father that which you spoke to him.”

[6:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “you spoke by your mouth and by your hand you fulfilled, as this day.”

[7:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “As for you, if you walk before me, as David your father walked, by doing all which I commanded you, [and] you keep my rules and my regulations.”

[12:10]  ⁹ tn Heb “runners” (also in v. 11).

[19:7]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and now let the terror of the Lord be upon you, be careful and act for there is not with the Lord our God injustice, lifting up of a face, and taking a bribe.”

[6:16]  ¹³ tn Heb “there will not be cut off from you a man from before me sitting on the throne of Israel.”

[6:16]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “guard their way by walking in my law as you have walked before me.”

[13:11]  ¹⁵ tn Or “for.”

[33:8]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “I will not again make the feet of Israel wander from the land which I established for their fathers.”

[34:9]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “from Manasseh and Ephraim.” The words “the people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the names “Manasseh and Ephraim” here by metonymy for the people of Manasseh and Ephraim.

[34:9]  ²⁰ tn Heb “all Judah and Benjamin.” The words “the people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the names “Judah and Benjamin” here by metonymy for the people of Judah and Benjamin.

[34:9]  ²¹ tc The Hebrew consonantal text (Kethib) assumes the reading, “and the residents of.” The marginal reading (Qere) is “and they returned.”

[34:22]  ²¹ tn Heb “and those who [were sent by] the king.”

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

[34:22]  ²³ tn Heb “the keeper of the clothes.”

[34:22]  ²⁴ 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]  ²⁵ tn Heb “and they spoke to her like this.”

[34:31]  ²³ tc This assumes an emendation to עַמּוּדוֹ (’ammudo), see 23:13. The MT reads “at his place.”

[34:31]  ²⁵ tn Heb “walk after.”

[34:31]  ²⁶ tn Or “soul.”
