[11:7]  ¹ tn Heb “then.”

[11:7]  ² sn The hill east of Jerusalem refers to the Mount of Olives.

[11:7]  ³ sn A high place. The “high places” were places of worship that were naturally or artificially elevated (see 1 Kgs 3:2).

[11:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “Chemosh, the detestable thing of Moab.”

[11:7]  ⁵ tc The MT reads “Molech,” but Milcom must be intended (see vv. 5, 33).

[11:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “walked after.”

[11:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “Milcom, the detestable thing of the Ammonites.”

[21:26]  ⁸ 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]  ⁹ tn Heb “He acted very abominably by walking after the disgusting idols, according to all which the Amorites had done.”

[21:13]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “led him.”

[21:13]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and they stoned him with stones and he died.”

[14:24]  ¹² tc The Old Greek translation has “a conspiracy” rather than “male cultic prostitutes.”

[14:24]  ¹³ tn Heb “they did according to all the abominable acts of the nations.”

[15:13]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “mother,” but Hebrew often uses the terms “father” and “mother” for grandparents and more remote ancestors.

[9:7]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “I will cut off Israel from upon the surface of the land.”

[9:7]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and the temple which I consecrated for my name I will send away from before my face.”

[9:7]  sn Instead of “I will send away,” the parallel text in 2 Chr 7:20 has “I will throw away.” The two verbs sound very similar in Hebrew, so the discrepancy is likely due to an oral transmissional error.

[9:7]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “will become a proverb and a taunt,” that is, a proverbial example of destruction and an object of reproach.
