[4:34]  ¹ tn Heb “the wisdom of Solomon.”

[5:17]  ² tn Heb “and the king commanded.”

[6:21]  ³ tn Heb “with plated gold” (or perhaps, “with pure gold”).

[6:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “it.”

[7:18]  ⁵ tn Heb “he made the pillars, and two rows surrounding one latticework to cover the capitals which were on top of the pomegranates, and so he did for the second latticework.” The translation supplies “pomegranates” after “two rows,” and understands “pillars,” rather than “pomegranates,” to be the correct reading after “on top of.” The latter change finds support from many Hebrew mss and the ancient Greek version.

[9:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “their sons who were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel were unable to wipe out, and Solomon raised them up for a crew of labor to this day.”

[17:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “after these things.”

[20:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “struck down Aram with a great striking down.”
