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, ⁴¹  for Israel was celebrating. ⁴² 

[19:14]  ¹ tn Heb “and the army which was with him.”

[20:3]  ² tc The Hebrew text reads “saws,” but since saws were just mentioned, it is preferable to emend מְגֵרוֹת (mÿgerot, “saws”) to מַגְזְרוֹת (magzÿrot, “axes”).

[20:3]  ³ tn Heb “and so he would do.”

[21:2]  ⁴ tn Or “people.”

[21:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “Go, count Israel.” See the note on “had” in v. 1.

[21:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “their number.”

[29:9]  ⁷ tn Heb “with a complete heart.”

[29:9]  ⁸ tn Heb “was rejoiced with great joy.”

[21:22]  ⁹ tn Heb “the place of the threshing floor.”

[21:22]  ¹⁰ tn Following the imperative, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive here indicates the immediate purpose/result: “so I can build.”

[21:22]  ¹¹ tn Heb “For full silver sell to me.”

[21:22]  ¹² tn Following the imperative and first person prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive, this third person prefixed verbal form with vav conjunctive introduces the ultimate purpose/result: “so the plague may be removed.” Another option is subordinate this form to the preceding imperative, but the latter may be taken as a parenthetical expansion of the initial request.

[28:21]  ¹³ tn Heb “and with you in all work, for every willing [one] in skill for all service.”

[28:21]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and the officials and all the people to all your words.”

[11:13]  ¹⁵ tc Some read here “Ephes Dammim.” See 1 Sam 17:1.

[28:2]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “I, with my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord and for a stool of the feet of our God.”

[29:14]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “that we should retain strength to contribute like this.”

[29:14]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “and from you we have given to you.”

[21:17]  ¹⁹ tn “and doing evil I did evil.” The infinitive absolute precedes the finite form of the verb for emphasis.

[21:17]  ²⁰ tn Heb “let your hand be on me and on the house of my father.”

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

[13:4]  ²² tn Heb “all the assembly said to do so.”

[13:4]  ²³ tn Heb “for right was the word in the eyes of all the people.”

[16:43]  ²⁴ tn Heb “to bless his house.” Elsewhere when “house” is the object of “bless,” it refers to a household or family. See, for example, 1 Chr 13:14; 17:27. However, since בֵּית (bet, “house”) refers to a literal house or home earlier in the verse and to David’s palace in 17:1, one might translate here, “David went to pronounce a blessing on [i.e., dedicate] his house [i.e., palace].”

[18:14]  ²⁵ tn Heb “and he was doing what is just and fair for all his people.”

[21:3]  ²⁶ tn Or “people.”

[21:3]  ²⁷ tn Heb “Why should it become guilt for Israel?” David’s decision betrays an underlying trust in his own strength rather than in divine provision. See also 1 Chr 27:23-24.

[9:1]  ²⁸ tn The Hebrew text has simply “Judah,” though the verb הָגְלוּ (hoglu, “carried away”) is plural.

[11:10]  ²⁹ tn Heb “and these were the heads of the warriors who were David’s, who held strongly with him in his kingdom and with all Israel to make him king, according to the word of the Lord, over Israel.”

[13:5]  ³⁰ 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]  ³¹ tn Or “the entrance to Hamath.”

[21:5]  ³² tn Heb “and Joab gave to David the number of the numbering of the army [or “people”].”

[21:5]  ³³ tn Heb “a thousand thousands and one hundred thousand.”

[21:5]  ³⁴ tc The parallel text in 2 Sam 24:9 has variant figures: “In Israel there were eight hundred thousand sword-wielding warriors, and in Judah there were five hundred thousands soldiers.”

[29:25]  ³⁵ tn Heb “and gave to him glory of kingship which there was not concerning every king before him over Israel.”

[21:16]  ³⁶ tn Heb “and David and the elders, covered with sackcloth, fell on their faces.”

[23:13]  ³⁷ tn Heb “and Aaron was set apart to consecrate it, the most holy things, he and his sons, permanently, to sacrifice before the Lord, to serve him, and to bless his name permanently.”

[28:8]  ³⁸ tn The words “I say this” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[28:8]  ³⁹ tn Heb “Watch! Seek!”

[12:23]  ⁴⁰ tn Heb “these are the numbers of the heads of the forces armed for battle [who] came to David in Hebron to turn over the kingdom of Saul to him according to the mouth of the Lord.”

[12:40]  ⁴¹ tn Heb “cattle and sheep.”

[12:40]  ⁴² tn Heb “for there was joy in Israel.”
