[6:16]  ¹ tn Heb “He built twenty cubits from the rear areas of the temple with cedar planks from the floor to the walls, and he built it on the inside for an inner sanctuary, for a holy place of holy places.”

[6:16]  ² tc The MT has קְלָעִים (qÿla’im, “curtains”), but this should be emended to קוֹרוֹת (qorot, “rafters”). See BDB 900 s.v. קוֹרָה.

[7:45]  ³ tn Heb “which Hiram made for King Solomon [for] the house of the Lord.”

[8:42]  ⁴ tn Heb “your great name.” See the note on the word “reputation” in the previous verse.

[8:42]  ⁵ tn Heb “and your strong hand and your outstretched arm.”

[11:17]  ⁶ tn The MT reads “Adad,” an alternate form of the name Hadad.

[11:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “and Adad fled, he and Edomite men from the servants of his father, to go to Egypt, and Hadad was a small boy.”

[11:22]  ⁸ tn Heb “Indeed what do you lack with me, that now you are seeking to go to your land?”

[11:22]  ⁹ tn Heb “and he said.”

[11:22]  ¹⁰ sn So Hadad asked Pharaoh… This lengthy description of Hadad’s exile in Egypt explains why Hadad wanted to oppose Solomon and supports the author’s thesis that his hostility to Solomon found its ultimate source in divine providence. Though Hadad enjoyed a comfortable life in Egypt, when the Lord raised him up (apparently stirring up his desire for vengeance) he decided to leave the comforts of Egypt and return to Edom.

[19:3]  ¹¹ tc The MT has “and he saw,” but some medieval Hebrew mss as well as several ancient versions support the reading “he was afraid.” The consonantal text (וַיַּרְא, vayyar’) is ambiguous and can be vocalized וַיַּרְא (from רָאָה, ra’ah, “to see”) or וַיִּרָא (vayyira’, from יָרֵא, yare’, “to fear”).

[21:25]  ¹² tn Heb “who sold himself.”

[21:25]  ¹³ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[21:25]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “like Ahab…whom his wife Jezebel incited.”

[22:30]  ¹⁵ tn The Hebrew verbal forms could be imperatives (“Disguise yourself and enter”), but this would make no sense in light of the immediately following context. The forms are better interpreted as infinitives absolute functioning as cohortatives. See IBHS 594 §35.5.2a. Some prefer to emend the forms to imperfects.
