[8:5] 1 tn Heb “and he built…[as] cities of fortification, [with] walls, doors, and a bar.”
[8:6] 2 tn Heb “Solomon.” The recurrence of the proper name is unexpected in terms of contemporary English style, so the pronoun has been used in the translation instead.
[8:6] 3 tn Heb “the cities of the chariots and the cities of the horses.”
