NETBible

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “he”; the referent (Rehoboam) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²tn Heb “Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter upon us.”

³tn Heb “My little one is thicker than my father’s hips.” The referent of “my little one” is not clear. The traditional view is that it refers to the little finger. As the following statement makes clear, Rehoboam’s point is that he is more harsh and demanding than his father.
