1 Tawarikh 15:2

15:2 Then David said, “Only the Levites may carry the ark of God, for the Lord chose them to carry the ark of the Lord and to serve before him perpetually.

[12:2]  ¹ tn Heb “ones armed with bow[s], using the right hand and the left hand with stones and with arrows with the bow, from the brothers of Saul from Benjamin.”

[12:2]  ² tn The words “These were” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons, because of the length of the intervening material since the beginning of the verse.

[13:9]  ³ tn Or “to steady.”

[14:15]  ⁴ tn Heb “go out in battle.”

[14:15]  ⁵ tn Heb “camp.”

[15:17]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew text adds, “their brothers.”

[16:35]  ⁷ tn The words “this prayer” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[16:35]  ⁹ tn Heb “to boast in your praise.”

[16:37]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “he”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:37]  ¹¹ tn Heb “according to the matter of the day in its day.”

[17:1]  ¹² tn Heb “house.”

[17:1]  ¹³ tn Heb “David.” The pronoun “he” has been used in the translation here to avoid redundancy in keeping with contemporary English style.

[17:1]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “house.”

[17:1]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “tent curtains.”

[17:11]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and it will be when your days are full to go with your ancestors.”

[17:23]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “as you have spoken.”

[18:8]  ²⁰ tn The MT reads “Tibhath” here, a variant name for Tebah (cf. 2 Sam 8:8). Some English translations substitute the other version of the name here (e.g., NIV, NLT), while others follow the reading of the Hebrew text at this point (e.g., NAB, NASB, NRSV).

[18:8]  ²¹ tn The parallel text of 2 Sam 8:8 has the variant name “Berothai.”

[18:8]  ²² tn Heb “the sea of bronze,” or “[the] sea, the bronze one.” See the note at 1 Kgs 7:23.

[18:11]  ²³ tn Heb “also them King David made holy to the Lord.”

[18:11]  ²⁴ tn Heb “from.”

[18:11]  ²⁵ tc The parallel text of 2 Sam 8:12 of the MT reads “Aram.” However, a few Hebrew mss along with the LXX and Syriac of 2 Sam 8:12 read “Edom” in agreement with 1 Chr 18:11 (cf. 2 Sam 8:14).

[19:13]  ²⁶ tn Heb “and the Lord, what is good in his eyes, he will do.”

[20:4]  ²⁷ tn Heb “battle stood.”

[20:5]  ³¹ tc The Hebrew text reads, “Elchanan son of Jair killed Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite.” But it is likely that the accusative marker in front of לַחְמִי (lakhmiy, “Lachmi”) is a corruption of בֵּית (bet), and that אֶת־לַחְמִי (’et-lakhmiy) should be emended to בֵּית הַלַּחְמִי (bet hallakhmiy, “the Bethlehemite”). See 2 Sam 21:19.

[20:5]  ³² tc See tc note on the parallel passage in 2 Sam 21:19.

[23:10]  ³³ tc The MT reads “Zina” here and “Zizah” in v. 11. One Hebrew ms, the LXX, and the Vulgate, harmonizing the form of the name to that found in v. 11, read “Zizah” here.

[23:10]  ³⁴ sn Verses 8-10 are confusing. Two different lists of Shimei’s sons appear. In between these lists is the statement “these were the leaders of the family of Ladan,” suggesting that the list just before this includes the sons of Ladan, not Shimei. But verse 8 already lists Ladan’s sons. Apparently the text as it stands is a conflation of differing traditions.

[23:17]  ³⁵ tn The Hebrew text has “the sons of Eliezer were,” but only one name appears after this in the verse, and we are specifically told that Eliezer had no other sons.
