2 Chronicles 32:23

32:23 Many were bringing presents ¹  to the Lord in Jerusalem and precious gifts to King Hezekiah of Judah. From that time on he was respected by ²  all the nations.

Psalms 45:13

45:13 The princess ³  looks absolutely magnificent, ⁴ 

decked out in pearls and clothed in a brocade trimmed with gold. ⁵ 

¹ tn Or perhaps, “offerings.”

² tn Heb “lifted up in the eyes of.”

³ tn Heb “[the] daughter of a king.”

⁴ tn Heb “[is] completely glorious.”

⁵ tc Heb “within, from settings of gold, her clothing.” The Hebrew term פְּנִימָה (pÿnimah, “within”), if retained, would go with the preceding line and perhaps refer to the bride being “within” the palace or her bridal chamber (cf. NIV, NRSV). Since the next two lines refer to her attire (see also v. 9b), it is preferable to emend the form to פְּנִינִיהָּ (“her pearls”) or to פְּנִינִים (“pearls”). The mem (מ) prefixed to “settings” is probably dittographic.
