1 Tawarikh 27:1

Leaders of the Army

27:1 What follows is a list of Israelite family leaders and commanders of units of a thousand and a hundred, as well as their officers who served the king in various matters. Each division was assigned to serve for one month during the year; each consisted of 24,000 men. ⁵⁹ 

[28:13]  ¹ tn The words “he gave him the regulations” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[26:14]  ² tn “Shelemiah” is a variant of the name “Meshelemiah” (cf. 26:2).

[28:14]  ³ tn The words “he gave him” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[28:14]  ⁴ tn Heb “for the gold, by the weight, for the gold, for all the items of service and service, for all the items of silver by weight for all the items of service and service.”

[26:29]  ⁵ tn The words “the temple” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[28:12]  ⁶ tn The words “he gave him” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[28:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “the pattern of all which was in the spirit with him.”

[15:27]  ⁸ tn Heb “the leader, the lifting up, the musicians.” See also the note on the word “matter” in v. 22.

[15:27]  ⁹ sn An ephod was a priestly garment worn over the robe.

[1:8]  ¹⁰ tn That is, “Egypt.”

[17:18]  ¹¹ tn The word “say” is supplied in the translation for clarification.

[17:18]  ¹² tn Heb “for honoring your servant, and you, your servant, know.”

[24:20]  ¹³ tn Heb “Belonging to the rest of the sons of Levi.”

[24:20]  ¹⁴ tn This appears to be a variant of the name Shebuel (cf. 1 Chr 23:16 and 26:24).

[2:3]  ¹⁵ tn The name means “daughter of Shua.” Shua is identified in Gen 38:2 as a “Canaanite man.”

[2:3]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “was evil in the eyes of the Lord, so he [i.e., the Lord] killed him [i.e., Er].”

[7:10]  ¹⁷ tn The Hebrew text has the plural “sons,” but only one son is listed.

[29:30]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “with all his reign and his might, and the times which passed over him and over Israel and over all the kingdoms of the lands.”

[23:29]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “with respect to.”

[23:29]  ²⁰ tn The Hebrew terms מְשׂוּרָה (mÿsurah) and מִדָּה (middah) refer to different types of measurements.

[26:16]  ²¹ tn Heb “a guard alongside a guard.”

[4:41]  ²² tn The Hebrew text reads “their tents,” apparently referring to those of the Hamites mentioned at the end of v. 40. Some prefer to emend the text to read, “the tents of Ham.”

[4:41]  ²³ tn Heb “and they lived in place of them.”

[15:22]  ²⁴ tn Heb “and Kenaniah, the leader of the Levites, with lifting up, supervising with lifting up, for he was well-informed.” The precise nuance of מַשָּׂא (masa’, “lifting up”) is unclear. Some understand it as a reference to supervising the singing and music (e.g., NIV: “Kenaniah…was in charge of the singing”; NEB: “Kenaniah…was precentor in charge of the music”).

[17:23]  ²⁵ tn Heb “and now, O Lord, the word which you spoke concerning your servant and concerning his house, may it be established permanently.”

[17:23]  ²⁶ tn Heb “as you have spoken.”

[25:11]  ²⁷ tn “Izri” is a variant of the name “Zeri” (cf. 25:3).

[25:14]  ²⁸ tn “Jesharelah” is a variant of the name “Asarelah” (cf. 25:2).

[25:18]  ²⁹ tn “Azarel” is a variant of the name “Uzziel” (cf. 25:4).

[10:3]  ³⁰ tn Heb “heavy.”

[10:3]  ³¹ tn Heb “and they found him, the ones who shoot with the bow, and he was in pain from the ones shooting.”

[25:8]  ³² tn Heb “and they cast lots [for] service, just as like small, like great, teacher with student.”

[20:2]  ³³ tc The translation follows the MT, which reads “of their king”; the LXX and Vulgate read “of Milcom” (cf. 1 Kgs 11:5). Milcom, also known as Molech, was the god of the Ammonites.

[20:2]  ³⁴ tn Heb “and it was on the head of David.”

[20:2]  ³⁵ sn See the note on the word “talents” in 19:6.

[25:9]  ³⁶ tc Heb “The first lot went to Asaph, to Joseph.” Apparently the recurring formula, “and his sons and his relatives, twelve” has been accidentally omitted from the Hebrew text at this point (see vv. 10-31; the formula is slightly different in v. 9b). If the number “twelve” is not supplied here, the total comes to only 276, not the 288 required by v. 7.

[4:33]  ³⁷ tc Some LXX mss read “Baalath” (cf. Josh 19:8). This is followed by some English versions (e.g., NIV, NCV, TEV, NLT).

[5:22]  ³⁸ tn Heb “from God [was] the battle.”

[5:22]  ³⁹ tn Heb “many slain fell.”

[5:22]  ⁴⁰ tn Heb “and they lived in place of them until the exile.” The referent of “them” (the Hagrites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[28:19]  ⁴¹ tn The words “David said” are supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.

[28:19]  ⁴² tn Heb “the whole in writing from the hand of the Lord upon me, he gave insight [for] all the workings of the plan.”

[17:17]  ⁴³ tn Heb “and this was small in your eyes, O God, so you spoke concerning the house of your servant for a distance.”

[17:17]  ⁴⁴ tn The translation “You have revealed to me what men long to know” is very tentative; the meaning of the Hebrew text is unclear. The text appears to read literally, “and you see me like the searching of man, that which is upward,” which is nonsensical. The translation above assumes the following: (1) The Qal verb translated “you see me” is repointed as a Hiphil, “you showed me,” (2) תּוֹר (tor) is understood in the sense of “searching, exploring,” and (3) הַמַּעֲלָה (hamma’alah) is taken in a temporal sense of “that which lies beyond.” Thus one could translate, “you have shown me what men search for, what lies beyond.”

[26:31]  ⁴⁵ tn Heb “and they were searched and there were found in them.”

[11:10]  ⁴⁶ tn Heb “and these were the heads of the warriors who were David’s, who held strongly with him in his kingdom and with all Israel to make him king, according to the word of the Lord, over Israel.”

[16:29]  ⁴⁷ tn Heb “the splendor of [i.e., due] his name.”

[16:29]  ⁴⁸ tn Or “in holy splendor.”

[22:11]  ⁴⁹ tn Heb “as he spoke concerning you.”

[28:18]  ⁵⁰ tn The words “he gave him” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[28:18]  ⁵¹ tc The Hebrew text reads מֶרְכָּבָה (merkavah, “chariot”), but the final he (ה) is probably dittographic – note the prefixed he (ה) on the immediately following word. It is preferable to read מֶרְכָּב (merkav, “seat”).

[28:18]  ⁵² tc The Hebrew text does not have “their wings,” but the word כְּנָפַיִם (kÿnafayim, “wings”) has probably been accidentally omitted by homoioteleuton. Note that the immediately preceding לְפֹרְשִׂים (lÿforsim) also ends in mem (ם).

[21:16]  ⁵³ tn Heb “and David and the elders, covered with sackcloth, fell on their faces.”

[22:14]  ⁵⁴ tn Heb “and look, in my affliction [or perhaps, “poverty”] I have supplied for the house of the Lord.”

[22:14]  ⁵⁵ tn See the note on the word “talents” in 19:6.

[22:14]  ⁵⁶ tn Heb “a thousand thousands.”

[23:28]  ⁵⁷ tn Heb “For their assignment was at the hand of the sons of Aaron for the work of the house of the Lord concerning the courtyards and concerning the rooms and concerning the purification of all holiness and the work of the service of the house of God.”

[23:31]  ⁵⁸ tn Heb “by number according to the manner upon them, regularly before the Lord.”

[27:1]  ⁵⁹ tn Heb “and the sons of Israel according to their number, heads of the fathers and the commanders of the thousands and the hundreds and their officers who served the king with respect to every matter of the divisions, [that which] comes and goes out month by month according to all the months of the year, one division [was] twenty-four thousand.”
