[17:15]  ¹ tn Heb “and she ate, she and he and her house [for] days.”

[2:8]  ² tn Heb “Look, with you is Shimei….”

[2:8]  ³ tn Heb “and he cursed me with a horrible curse on the day I went to Mahanaim.”

[2:8]  ⁴ tn Or “swore an oath to.”

[2:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “kill you.”

[1:35]  ⁶ tn Or “commanded.”

[12:2]  ⁷ tc Verse 2 is not included in the Old Greek translation. See the note on 11:43.

[12:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “and Jeroboam lived in Egypt.” The parallel text in 2 Chr 10:2 reads, “and Jeroboam returned from Egypt.” In a purely consonantal text the forms “and he lived” and “and he returned” are identical (וישׁב).

[16:9]  ⁹ tn Heb “while he was drinking and drunken.”

[20:12]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “When he heard this word.”

[20:12]  ¹¹ tn Heb “in the temporary shelters.” This is probably referring to tents.

[20:40]  ¹² tn Heb “so [i.e., in accordance with his testimony] is your judgment, you have determined [it].”

[1:13]  ¹³ tn Heb “come, go to.” The imperative of הָלַךְ (halakh) is here used as an introductory interjection. See BDB 234 s.v. חָלַךְ.

[1:13]  ¹⁴ tn Or “swear an oath to.”

[1:30]  ¹⁵ tn Or “carry out, perform.”

[11:29]  ¹⁶ tn The Hebrew text has simply “he,” making it a bit unclear whether Jeroboam or Ahijah is the subject, but in the Hebrew word order Ahijah is the nearer antecedent, and this is followed by the present translation.

[19:4]  ¹⁷ tn Or “broom tree” (also in v. 5).

[19:4]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “and asked with respect to his life to die.”

[19:4]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “fathers.”

[20:39]  ²⁰ tn Heb “middle.”

[20:39]  ²¹ tn Heb “man” (also a second time later in this verse).

[20:39]  ²² tn Heb “if being missed, he is missed.” The emphatic infinitive absolute before the finite verbal form lends solemnity to the warning.

[20:39]  ²³ tn The Hebrew term כִּכָּר (kikkar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or to a standard unit of weight, generally regarded as a talent. Since the accepted weight for a talent of metal is about 75 pounds, this would have amounted to about 75 pounds of silver.

[20:39]  ²⁴ tn Heb “your life will be in place of his life, or a unit of silver you will pay.”
