1 Tawarikh 4:41

4:41 The men whose names are listed came during the time of King Hezekiah of Judah and attacked the Hamites’ settlements, ¹  as well as the Meunites they discovered there, and they wiped them out to this very day. They dispossessed them, ²  for they found pasture for their sheep there.

1 Tawarikh 7:28

7:28 Their property and settlements included Bethel ³  and its surrounding towns, Naaran to the east, Gezer and its surrounding towns to the west, and Shechem and its surrounding towns as far as Ayyah and its surrounding towns.

1 Tawarikh 11:18

11:18 So the three elite warriors ⁴  broke through the Philistine forces and drew some water from the cistern in Bethlehem near the city gate. They carried it back to David, but David refused to drink it. He poured it out as a drink offering to the Lord

12:8 Some of the Gadites joined David at the stronghold in the desert. They were warriors who were trained for battle; they carried shields and spears. They were as fierce as lions and could run as quickly as gazelles across the hills. ⁵ 

1 Tawarikh 12:18

12:18 But a spirit ⁶  empowered ⁷  Amasai, the leader of the thirty warriors, and he said: ⁸ 

“We are yours, O David!

We support ⁹  you, O son of Jesse!

May you greatly prosper! ¹⁰ 

May those who help you prosper! ¹¹ 

Indeed ¹²  your God helps you!”

So David accepted them and made them leaders of raiding bands.

1 Tawarikh 14:11

14:11 So they marched against Baal Perazim and David defeated them there. David said, “Using me as his instrument, ¹³  God has burst out against my enemies like water bursts out.” So that place is called Baal Perazim. ¹⁴ 

1 Tawarikh 15:12

15:12 He told them: “You are the leaders of the Levites’ families. You and your relatives must consecrate yourselves and bring the ark of the Lord God of Israel up to the place I have prepared for it.

1 Tawarikh 17:24

17:24 so ¹⁵  it may become a reality ¹⁶  and you may gain lasting fame, ¹⁷  as people say, ¹⁸  ‘The Lord who commands armies is the God of Israel.’ ¹⁹  David’s dynasty ²⁰  will be established before you,

1 Tawarikh 19:6

19:6 When the Ammonites realized that David was disgusted with them, ²¹  Hanun and the Ammonites sent 1,000 talents ²²  of silver to hire chariots and charioteers from Aram Naharaim, Aram Maacah, and Zobah. ²³ 

1 Tawarikh 19:18

1 Tawarikh 21:16

1 Tawarikh 22:8

1 Tawarikh 23:28

23:28 Their job was to help Aaron’s descendants in the service of the Lord’s temple. They were to take care of the courtyards, the rooms, ceremonial purification of all holy items, and other jobs related to the service of God’s temple. ²⁹

25:9 The first lot went to Asaph’s son Joseph and his relatives and sons – twelve in all, ³⁰

1 Tawarikh 29:14

1 Tawarikh 29:16

29:16 O Lord our God, all this wealth, which we have collected to build a temple for you to honor your holy name, comes from you; it all belongs to you.

[4:41]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text reads “their tents,” apparently referring to those of the Hamites mentioned at the end of v. 40. Some prefer to emend the text to read, “the tents of Ham.”

[4:41]  ² tn Heb “and they lived in place of them.”

[7:28]  ³ map For location see Map4 G4; Map5 C1; Map6 E3; Map7 D1; Map8 G3.

[11:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “the three,” referring to the three elite warriors mentioned in v. 12.

[12:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “warriors, men of battle for war, prepared with shield and spear, and [like] the face of a lion were their faces, and like gazelles on the hills to hurry.”

[12:18]  ⁶ tn Perhaps “the Spirit,” but the text has simply רוּחַ (ruakh) with no article (suggesting an indefinite reference).

[12:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “clothed.”

[12:18]  ⁸ tn The words “and he said” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[12:18]  ⁹ tn Heb “are with.”

[12:18]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Peace, peace to you.” The Hebrew term שָׁלוֹם (shalom, “peace”) is repeated to emphasize degree.

[12:18]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and peace to the one who helps you.”

[12:18]  ¹² tn Or “for.”

[14:11]  ¹³ tn Heb “by my hand.”

[14:11]  ¹⁴ sn The name Baal Perazim means “Lord of outbursts” in Hebrew.

[17:24]  ¹⁵ 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]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “so it might be established.”

[17:24]  ¹⁷ 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]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “saying.” The words “as people” are supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.

[17:24]  ¹⁹ 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]  ²⁰ tn Heb “the house of David.”

[19:6]  ²¹ tn Heb “that they were a stench [i.e., disgusting] with David.”

[19:6]  ²² tn The Hebrew word כִּכַּר (kikar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or, by extension, to a standard unit of weight. According to the older (Babylonian) standard the “talent” weighed 130 lbs. (58.9 kg), but later this was lowered to 108.3 lbs. (49.1 kg). More recent research suggests the “light” standard talent was 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg). Using this as the standard for calculation, the Ammonites hired chariots and charioteers for about 33.7 tons (30,600 kg) of silver.

[19:6]  ²³ tn The parallel text of 2 Sam 10:6 has “Aram Beth Rehob and Aram Zobah.”

[22:8]  ²⁸ tn Heb “for my name.”

[23:28]  ²⁹ tn Heb “For their assignment was at the hand of the sons of Aaron for the work of the house of the Lord concerning the courtyards and concerning the rooms and concerning the purification of all holiness and the work of the service of the house of God.”

[25:9]  ³⁰ tc Heb “The first lot went to Asaph, to Joseph.” Apparently the recurring formula, “and his sons and his relatives, twelve” has been accidentally omitted from the Hebrew text at this point (see vv. 10-31; the formula is slightly different in v. 9b). If the number “twelve” is not supplied here, the total comes to only 276, not the 288 required by v. 7.

[29:14]  ³¹ tn Heb “that we should retain strength to contribute like this.”

[29:14]  ³² tn Heb “and from you we have given to you.”
