[2:6]  ¹ tn Heb “according to your wisdom.”

[2:6]  ² tn Heb “and do not bring down his grey hair in peace [to] Sheol.”

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

[3:8]  ⁴ tn Heb “your people whom you have chosen.”

[7:47]  ⁵ tn Heb “Solomon left all the items, due to their very great abundance; the weight of the bronze was not sought.”

[8:40]  ⁶ tn Heb “fear.”

[11:3]  ⁸ tn Heb “wives, princesses.”

[11:3]  ⁹ sn Concubines were slave women in ancient Near Eastern societies who were the legal property of their master, but who could have legitimate sexual relations with their master. A concubine’s status was more elevated than a mere servant, but she was not free and did not have the legal rights of a free wife. The children of a concubine could, in some instances, become equal heirs with the children of the free wife. The usage in the present passage suggests that after the period of the Judges concubines may have become more of a royal prerogative (cf. also 2 Sam 21:10-14).

[11:3]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “his wives bent his heart.”

[20:11]  ²⁰ sn The point of the saying is that someone who is still preparing for a battle should not boast as if he has already won the battle. A modern parallel would be, “Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched.”
