1 Tawarikh 29:22

29:22 They held a feast ²²  before the Lord that day and celebrated. ²³ 

Then they designated Solomon, David’s son, as king a second time; ²⁴  before the Lord they anointed him as ruler and Zadok as priest.

1 Tawarikh 22:5

22:5 David said, “My son Solomon is just an inexperienced young man, ²⁵  and the temple to be built for the Lord must be especially magnificent so it will become famous and be considered splendid by all the nations. ²⁶  Therefore I will make preparations for its construction.” So David made extensive preparations before he died.

1 Tawarikh 22:8

22:8 But the Lord said to me: ²⁷  ‘You have spilled a great deal of blood and fought many battles. You must not build a temple to honor me, ²⁸  for you have spilled a great deal of blood on the ground before me.

1 Tawarikh 29:1

1 Tawarikh 7:40

7:40 All these were the descendants of Asher. They were the leaders of their families, the most capable men, who were warriors and served as head chiefs. There were 26,000 warriors listed in their genealogical records as capable of doing battle. ⁸² 

1 Tawarikh 11:13

11:13 He was with David in Pas Dammim ⁸³  when the Philistines assembled there for battle. In an area of the field that was full of barley, the army retreated before the Philistines,

21:17 David said to God, “Was I not the one who decided to number the army? I am the one who sinned and committed this awful deed! ⁸⁴  As for these sheep – what have they done? O Lord my God, attack me and my family, ⁸⁵  but remove the plague from your people!” ⁸⁶

1 Tawarikh 28:20

28:20 David said to his son Solomon: “Be strong and brave! Do it! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic! ⁸⁸  For the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not leave you or abandon you before all the work for the service of the Lord’s temple is finished.

1 Tawarikh 12:40

12:40 Also their neighbors, from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, were bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen. There were large supplies of flour, fig cakes, raisins, wine, olive oil, beef, and lamb, ⁸⁹  for Israel was celebrating. ⁹⁰

1 Tawarikh 27:1

Leaders of the Army

27:1 What follows is a list of Israelite family leaders and commanders of units of a thousand and a hundred, as well as their officers who served the king in various matters. Each division was assigned to serve for one month during the year; each consisted of 24,000 men. ⁹³ 

[11:9]  ¹ tn Heb “and David went, going and becoming great, and the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, Lord of hosts] was with him.”

[17:8]  ² tn Heb “cut off.”

[17:8]  ³ tn Heb “and I will make for you a name like the name of the great men who are in the earth.”

[16:25]  ⁴ tn Or “feared above.”

[26:13]  ⁵ tn Heb “for a gate and a gate,” i.e., for each gate.

[17:19]  ⁶ tn Heb “heart.”

[17:19]  ⁷ tn Heb “to make known all the great deeds.”

[12:22]  ⁸ tn Heb “for at the time of day in a day they were coming to David to help him until [there was] a great camp like the camp of God.” The term אֱלֹהִים (’elohim, “God”) is probably used idiomatically here to indicate the superlative.

[25:8]  ⁹ tn Heb “and they cast lots [for] service, just as like small, like great, teacher with student.”

[16:27]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “majesty and splendor [are] before him.”

[16:27]  ¹¹ tn Heb “strength and joy [are] in his place.”

[11:14]  ¹² tn Heb “delivered it.”

[11:14]  ¹³ tn Heb “and the Lord delivered [with] a great deliverance.”

[5:2]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and [one] for a leader [was] from him.” This probably refers to the Davidic king.

[29:12]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “wealth and honor [are] from before you.”

[29:12]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “and in your hand [is] strength and might and in your hand to magnify and to give strength to all.”

[20:5]  ¹⁷ tc The Hebrew text reads, “Elchanan son of Jair killed Lachmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite.” But it is likely that the accusative marker in front of לַחְמִי (lakhmiy, “Lachmi”) is a corruption of בֵּית (bet), and that אֶת־לַחְמִי (’et-lakhmiy) should be emended to בֵּית הַלַּחְמִי (bet hallakhmiy, “the Bethlehemite”). See 2 Sam 21:19.

[20:5]  ¹⁸ tc See tc note on the parallel passage in 2 Sam 21:19.

[29:25]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and gave to him glory of kingship which there was not concerning every king before him over Israel.”

[12:14]  ²⁰ tn Heb “one for a hundred the small, and the great for a thousand.” Another option is to translate the preposition -לְ (lamed) as “against” and to understand this as a hyperbolic reference to their prowess: “the least could stand against a hundred, the greatest against a thousand.”

[21:13]  ²¹ tn Heb “There is great distress to me; let me fall into the hand of the Lord for his mercy is very great, but into the hand of men let me not fall.”

[29:22]  ²² tn Heb “they ate and drank.”

[29:22]  ²³ tn Heb “with great joy.”

[29:22]  ²⁴ sn See 1 Chr 23:1, where David had previously designated Solomon as king over Israel.

[22:5]  ²⁵ tn Heb “a young man and tender.”

[22:5]  ²⁶ tn Heb “and the house to build to make exceedingly great for a name and for splendor for all the lands.”

[22:8]  ²⁷ tn Heb “and the word of the Lord was [i.e., came] to me saying.”

[22:8]  ²⁸ tn Heb “for my name.”

[29:1]  ²⁹ tn Heb “a young man and tender.”

[17:24]  ³⁰ tn Following the imperative in v. 23b, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result: “so it might become a reality.”

[17:24]  ³¹ tn Heb “so it might be established.”

[17:24]  ³² tn Heb “and your name might be great permanently.” Following the imperative in v. 23b, the prefixed verbal form with vav conjunctive indicates purpose/result (parallel to the previous purpose/result clause): “[so]…you might gain lasting fame.”

[17:24]  ³³ tn Heb “saying.” The words “as people” are supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.

[17:24]  ³⁴ tc Heb “the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts], the God of Israel, Israel’s God.” The phrases אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל (’elohey yisra’el, “God of Israel”) and אֱלֹהִים לְיִשְׂרָאֵל (’elohim lÿyisra’el, “Israel’s God”) are probably alternative readings that have been conflated in the text.

[17:24]  ³⁵ tn Heb “the house of David.”

[17:21]  ³⁶ tn Heb “a nation, one.”

[17:21]  ³⁷ tn Heb “whose God,” or “because God.” In the Hebrew text this clause is subordinated to what precedes. The clauses are separated in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[17:21]  ³⁸ tn Heb “redeem” or “deliver.”

[17:21]  ³⁹ tn Heb “to make for yourself a name [with] great and awesome [deeds].”

[17:21]  ⁴⁰ tn Heb “to drive out.”

[17:21]  ⁴¹ tn Heb “from Egypt, nations.” The parallel text in 2 Sam 7:23 reads “from Egypt, nations and its gods.”

[26:24]  ⁴² tn A number of English versions follow the LXX and Vulgate and read “Shubael” here (e.g., NAB, NIV, NCV, CEV).

[13:1]  ⁴³ tn Heb “and David consulted with the officers of thousands and hundreds, to every ruler.”

[27:28]  ⁴⁴ tn Or “foothills”; Heb “the Shephelah.”

[11:2]  ⁴⁵ tn Heb “you were the one who led out and the one who brought in Israel.”

[17:7]  ⁴⁶ tn Traditionally, “Lord of hosts.”

[17:7]  ⁴⁷ tn Heb “and from after sheep.”

[28:4]  ⁴⁸ tn Heb “out of all the house of my father to become king over all Israel permanently.”

[28:4]  ⁴⁹ tn Or “for.”

[28:4]  ⁵⁰ tn Heb “and among the sons of my father he desired to make me king over all Israel.”

[29:11]  ⁵¹ tn The words “and sovereign” are added in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.

[29:11]  ⁵² tn Heb “head.”

[11:23]  ⁵³ tn Heb “five cubits.” Assuming a length of 18 inches for the standard cubit, this individual would be 7.5 feet (2.3 m) tall.

[11:23]  ⁵⁴ tn Heb “went down to.”

[23:2]  ⁵⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:42]  ⁵⁶ tn Heb “and with them, Heman and Jeduthun, trumpets and cymbals for sounding, and the instrument of song of God, and the sons of Jeduthun [were] at the gate.”

[6:10]  ⁵⁷ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[15:21]  ⁵⁸ tn The meaning of the Hebrew word שְׁמִינִית (shÿminit) is uncertain; perhaps it refers to a particular style of music. See HALOT 1562 s.v. שְׁמִינֹי.

[15:21]  ⁵⁹ tn Heb “for” or “according to.”

[22:17]  ⁶⁰ tn Or “help.”

[10:12]  ⁶¹ tn Heb “arose and carried away the corpse of Saul and the corpses of his sons.”

[10:12]  ⁶² tn Heb “their bones.”

[11:22]  ⁶³ tc Heb “the two of Ariel, Moab.” The precise meaning of אֲרִיאֵל (’ari’el) is uncertain; some read “warrior.” The present translation assumes that the word is a proper name and that בְּנֵי (bÿney, “sons of”) has accidentally dropped from the text by homoioarcton (note the preceding שְׁנֵי, shÿney).

[17:17]  ⁶⁴ tn Heb “and this was small in your eyes, O God, so you spoke concerning the house of your servant for a distance.”

[17:17]  ⁶⁵ tn The translation “You have revealed to me what men long to know” is very tentative; the meaning of the Hebrew text is unclear. The text appears to read literally, “and you see me like the searching of man, that which is upward,” which is nonsensical. The translation above assumes the following: (1) The Qal verb translated “you see me” is repointed as a Hiphil, “you showed me,” (2) תּוֹר (tor) is understood in the sense of “searching, exploring,” and (3) הַמַּעֲלָה (hamma’alah) is taken in a temporal sense of “that which lies beyond.” Thus one could translate, “you have shown me what men search for, what lies beyond.”

[5:22]  ⁶⁶ tn Heb “from God [was] the battle.”

[5:22]  ⁶⁷ tn Heb “many slain fell.”

[5:22]  ⁶⁸ tn Heb “and they lived in place of them until the exile.” The referent of “them” (the Hagrites) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:29]  ⁶⁹ tn Heb “from the sons of Benjamin, the brothers of Saul.”

[12:29]  ⁷⁰ tn Heb “and until then, the majority of them were keeping the charge of the house of Saul.”

[29:8]  ⁷¹ tn The word “precious” is supplied in the translation for clarification.

[29:30]  ⁷² tn Heb “with all his reign and his might, and the times which passed over him and over Israel and over all the kingdoms of the lands.”

[14:2]  ⁷³ tn Heb “was lifted upwards.”

[15:16]  ⁷⁴ tn Heb “causing to be heard to lift up with a voice of joy.”

[18:8]  ⁷⁵ tn The MT reads “Tibhath” here, a variant name for Tebah (cf. 2 Sam 8:8). Some English translations substitute the other version of the name here (e.g., NIV, NLT), while others follow the reading of the Hebrew text at this point (e.g., NAB, NASB, NRSV).

[18:8]  ⁷⁶ tn The parallel text of 2 Sam 8:8 has the variant name “Berothai.”

[18:8]  ⁷⁷ tn Heb “the sea of bronze,” or “[the] sea, the bronze one.” See the note at 1 Kgs 7:23.

[20:6]  ⁷⁸ tn Heb “and there was another battle, in Gath.”

[29:9]  ⁷⁹ tn Heb “with a complete heart.”

[29:9]  ⁸⁰ tn Heb “was rejoiced with great joy.”

[28:1]  ⁸¹ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[7:40]  ⁸² tn Heb “all these were the sons of Asher, heads of the house of the fathers, selected, warriors, heads of the leaders, and there was listed in the genealogical records in war, in battle, their number, men, 26,000.”

[11:13]  ⁸³ tc Some read here “Ephes Dammim.” See 1 Sam 17:1.

[21:17]  ⁸⁴ tn “and doing evil I did evil.” The infinitive absolute precedes the finite form of the verb for emphasis.

[21:17]  ⁸⁵ tn Heb “let your hand be on me and on the house of my father.”

[21:17]  ⁸⁶ tn Heb “but on your people not for a plague.”

[24:6]  ⁸⁷ tn Heb “one house of a father was drawn by lot for Eleazar, and one [this assumes an emendation of אָחֻז (’akhuz) to אֶחָד (’ekhad, “one”)] was drawn by lot for Ithamar.”

[28:20]  ⁸⁸ tn Or perhaps, “don’t be discouraged.”

[12:40]  ⁸⁹ tn Heb “cattle and sheep.”

[12:40]  ⁹⁰ tn Heb “for there was joy in Israel.”
