[6:23]  ¹ tn Heb “and you, hear [from] heaven and act and judge your servants by repaying the guilty, to give his way on his head, and to declare the innocent to be innocent, to give to him according to his innocence.”

[6:32]  ² tn Heb “your great name.” The word “name” sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor (thus the translation here, “your great reputation”).

[6:32]  ³ tn Heb “and your strong hand and your outstretched arm.”

[18:5]  ³ tn Heb “Should we go against Ramoth Gilead for war or should I refrain?”

[18:5]  ⁴ tn Though Jehoshaphat had requested an oracle from “the Lord” (יְהוָה, yÿhvah, “Yahweh”), the Israelite prophets stop short of actually using this name and substitute the title הָאֱלֹהִים (ha’elohim, “the God”). This ambiguity may explain in part Jehoshaphat’s hesitancy and caution (vv. 7-8). He seems to doubt that the 400 are genuine prophets of the Lord.

[24:22]  ⁴ tn Heb “did not remember.”

[24:22]  ⁵ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Jehoiada) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:22]  ⁶ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Zechariah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:22]  ⁷ tn Heb “and seek [ – ].” The direct object of “seek” is omitted in the Hebrew text but implied; “vengeance” is supplied for clarification.

[35:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “and stand in the sanctuary by the divisions of the house of the fathers for your brothers, the sons of the people, and a division of the house of a father for the Levites.”
