1 Tawarikh 19:3

[13:5]  ¹ tn The word “River” is not in the Hebrew text, but has been supplied for clarity.

[13:5]  sn The Shihor River was a river on the border of Egypt, probably the eastern branch of the Nile.

[13:5]  ² tn Or “the entrance to Hamath.”

[16:41]  ³ tn Perhaps this refers to the refrain of their songs of praise (see Ps 136). In this case one could translate, “to give thanks to the Lord with songs using the refrain, ‘For his loyal love endures.’”

[17:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “heart.”

[17:19]  ⁵ tn Heb “to make known all the great deeds.”

[19:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “Is David honoring your father in your eyes when he sends to you ones consoling?”

[19:3]  ⁷ tc Heb “Is it not to explore and to overturn and to spy out the land (that) his servants have come to you?” The Hebrew term לַהֲפֹךְ (lahafakh, “to overturn”) seems misplaced in the sequence. Some emend the form to לַחְפֹּר (lakhpor, “to spy out”). The sequence of three infinitives may be a conflation of alternative readings.
