2 Tawarikh 7:7

7:7 Solomon consecrated the middle of the courtyard that is in front of the Lord’s temple. He offered burnt sacrifices, grain offerings, ¹  and the fat from the peace offerings there, because the bronze altar that Solomon had made was too small to hold all these offerings. ² 

2 Tawarikh 9:4

9:4 the food in his banquet hall, ³  his servants and attendants ⁴  in their robes, his cupbearers in their robes, and his burnt sacrifices which he presented in the Lord’s temple, ⁵  she was amazed. ⁶ 

[7:7]  ¹ tc The Hebrew text omits reference to the grain offerings at this point, but note that they are included both in the list in the second half of the verse (see note on “offerings” at the end of this verse) and in the parallel account in 1 Kgs 8:64. The construction וְאֶת־הַמִּנְחָה (vÿ’et-hamminkhah; vav [ו] + accusative sign + noun with article; “grain offerings”) was probably omitted accidentally by homoioarcton. Note the וְאֶת (vÿ’et) that immediately follows.

[7:7]  ² tn Heb “to hold the burnt sacrifices, grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.” Because this is redundant, the translation employs a summary phrase: “all these offerings.”

[9:4]  ³ tn Heb “the food on his table.”

[9:4]  ⁴ tn Heb “the seating of his servants and the standing of his attendants.”

[9:4]  ⁵ tc The Hebrew text has here, “and his upper room [by] which he was going up to the house of the Lord.” But עֲלִיָּתוֹ (’aliyyato, “his upper room”) should be emended to עֹלָתוֹ, (’olato, “his burnt sacrifice[s]”). See the parallel account in 1 Kgs 10:5.

[9:4]  ⁶ tn Or “it took her breath away”; Heb “there was no breath still in her.”
