[1:1]  ¹ tn Heb “and Solomon son of David strengthened himself over his kingdom.”

[1:1]  ² tn The disjunctive clause (note the vav [ו] + subject pattern) probably has a causal nuance here.

[1:8]  ³ tn Heb “did.”

[6:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “and it was with the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.”

[20:36]  ¹¹ tn Heb “he made an alliance with him.”

[20:36]  ¹² tn Heb “make ships to go to Tarshish.” This probably refers to large ships either made in or capable of traveling to the distant western port of Tarshish; a “Tarshish-ship” was essentially a large seagoing merchant ship.
