[5:6]  ¹ tn Heb “And King Solomon and all the assembly of Israel, those who had been gathered to him, [were] before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle which could not be counted or numbered because of the abundance.”

[5:9]  ² tn Heb “they could not be seen outside.”

[5:14]  ³ tn Heb “were not able to stand to serve.”

[7:13]  ⁴ tn Or “if.”

[7:13]  ⁵ tn Or “heavens.” The Hebrew term שָׁמַיִם (shamayim) may be translated “heaven(s)” or “sky” depending on the context.

[7:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “the land,” which stands here by metonymy for the vegetation growing in it.

[9:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “Solomon declared to her all her words; there was not a word hidden from the king which he did not declare to her.” If riddles are specifically in view (see v. 1), then one might translate, “Solomon explained to her all her riddles; there was no riddle too complex for the king.”

[12:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Rehoboam) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “the anger of the Lord turned from him and did not destroy completely.”

[12:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “and also in Judah there were good things.”

[17:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “father.”

[17:3]  ⁸ tn Heb “for he walked in the ways of David his father [in] the beginning [times].”

[17:10]  ⁸ tn Heb “and the terror of the Lord was upon all the kingdoms of the lands which were surrounding Judah.”

[21:20]  ⁹ tn Heb “and he went without desire.”

[21:20]  ¹⁰ sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.

[24:22]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “did not remember.”

[24:22]  ¹¹ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Jehoiada) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:22]  ¹² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Zechariah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:22]  ¹³ tn Heb “and seek [ – ].” The direct object of “seek” is omitted in the Hebrew text but implied; “vengeance” is supplied for clarification.

[25:20]  ¹¹ tn Heb “did not listen.”

[25:20]  ¹² tn Heb “because it was from God in order to give them into the hand because they sought the gods of Edom.”

[28:1]  ¹³ tn Heb “and he did not do what was proper in the eyes of the Lord, like David his father.”

[28:21]  ¹³ tn Heb “divided up,” but some read חִלֵּץ (khillets, “despoiled”).

[32:25]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “but not according to the benefit [given] to him did Hezekiah repay, for his heart was high, and there was anger against him and against Judah and Jerusalem.”

[32:26]  ¹⁵ 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.”

[34:25]  ¹⁶ tn Or “burned incense.”

[34:25]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “angering me with all the work of their hands.” The present translation assumes this refers to idols they have manufactured (note the preceding reference to “other gods”). However, it is possible that this is a general reference to their sinful practices, in which case one might translate, “angering me by all the things they do.”
