[7:51]  ¹ tn Heb “Solomon.” The proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[8:15]  ² tn The Hebrew text reads, “by his hand.”

[8:15]  ³ tn The Hebrew text reads, “by his mouth.”

[14:5]  ⁴ sn Tell her so-and-so. Certainly the Lord gave Ahijah a specific message to give to Jeroboam’s wife (see vv. 6-16), but the author of Kings here condenses the Lord’s message with the words “so-and-so.” For dramatic effect he prefers to have us hear the message from Ahijah’s lips as he speaks to the king’s wife.

[16:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “As for the rest of the events of Baasha, and that which he did and his strength, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?”

[18:13]  ⁶ tn Heb “Has it not been told to my master what I did…?” The rhetorical question expects an answer, “Of course it has!”

[18:21]  ⁷ tn Heb “How long are you going to limp around on two crutches?” (see HALOT 762 s.v. סְעִפִּים). In context this idiomatic expression refers to indecision rather than physical disability.

[18:21]  ⁸ tn Heb “the God.”
