[3:8]  ¹ tn There is no verb expressed in the Hebrew text; “stands” is supplied in the translation for clarification.

[3:8]  ² tn Heb “your people whom you have chosen.”

[3:13]  ³ tn The translation assumes that the perfect tense here indicates that the action occurs as the statement is made.

[3:13]  ⁴ tn Heb “so that there is not one among the kings like you all your days.” The LXX lacks the words “all your days.”

[7:48]  ⁵ tn Heb “the bread of the face [or presence].” Many recent English versions employ “the bread of the Presence,” although this does not convey much to the modern reader.

[7:48]  sn This bread was viewed as a perpetual offering to God and was regarded as holy. See Lev 24:5-9.

[8:21]  ⁶ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 34, 40, 48, 53, 57, 58).

[8:24]  ⁷ tn Heb “[you] who kept to your servant David my father that which you spoke to him.”

[8:24]  ⁸ tn Heb “you spoke by your mouth and by your hand you fulfilled, as this day.”

[8:40]  ⁹ tn Heb “fear.”

[8:40]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “all the days [in] which.”

[8:50]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and forgive your people who have sinned against you, [forgive] all their rebellious acts by which they rebelled against you, and grant them mercy before their captors so they will show them mercy.”

[9:4]  ¹² tn Heb “As for you, if you walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, by doing all which I commanded you, [and] you keep my rules and my regulations.” Verse 4 is actually a lengthy protasis (“if” section) of a conditional sentence, the apodosis (“then” section) of which appears in v. 5.

[9:21]  ¹³ 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.”

[13:3]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “gave.”

[13:3]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “spoken.”

[13:3]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “the fat.” Reference is made to burnt wood mixed with fat. See HALOT 234 s.v. דשׁן.

[13:3]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “will be poured out.”

[13:12]  ¹⁸ tn The Hebrew text has “and his sons saw” (וַיִּרְאוּ [vayyir’u], Qal from רָאָה [ra’ah]). In this case the verbal construction (vav consecutive + prefixed verbal form) would have to be understood as pluperfect, “his sons had seen.” Such uses of this construction are rare at best. Consequently many, following the lead of the ancient versions, prefer to emend the verbal form to a Hiphil with pronominal suffix (וַיַּרְאֻהוּ [vayyar’uhu], “and they showed him”).

[13:12]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “the man of God.”

[14:19]  ²⁰ tn Heb “As for the rest of the events of Jeroboam, how he fought and how he ruled, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?”

[14:22]  ²¹ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[14:22]  ²² tn Heb “and they made him jealous more than all which their fathers had done by their sins which they sinned.”

[16:19]  ²³ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[16:19]  ²⁴ tn Heb “walking in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he did to make Israel sin.”

[16:27]  ²⁵ tn Heb “As for the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his strength which he demonstrated, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?”

[19:18]  ²⁶ tn Heb “I have kept in Israel seven thousand, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and all the mouths that have not kissed him.”

[21:25]  ²⁷ tn Heb “who sold himself.”

[21:25]  ²⁸ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[21:25]  ²⁹ tn Heb “like Ahab…whom his wife Jezebel incited.”

[21:26]  ³⁰ tn The Hebrew word used here, גִלּוּלִים (gillulim) is always used as a disdainful reference to idols. It is generally thought to have originally referred to “dung pellets” (cf. KBL 183 s.v. גִלּוּלִים). It is only one of several terms used in this way, such as אֱלִילִים (’elilim, “worthless things”) and הֲבָלִים (havalim, “vanities” or “empty winds”).

[21:26]  ³¹ tn Heb “He acted very abominably by walking after the disgusting idols, according to all which the Amorites had done.”

[22:45]  ³² tn Heb “As for the rest of the events of Jehoshaphat, and his strength that he demonstrated and how he fought, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Judah?”
