[2:12]  ¹ tn Heb “who has given to David a wise son [who] knows discernment and insight, who will build a house for the Lord and house for his kingship.”

[4:4]  ² tn Heb “all their hindquarters were toward the inside.”

[7:17]  ³ tn Heb “As for you, if you walk before me, as David your father walked, by doing all which I commanded you, [and] you keep my rules and my regulations.”

[7:17]  sn Verse 17 is actually a lengthy protasis (“if” section) of a conditional sentence, the apodosis (“then” section) of which appears in v. 18.

[13:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “and his priests and the trumpets of the war alarm [are ready] to sound out against you.”

[13:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 18).

[20:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “they”; the implied referent (messengers) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “the Sea”; in context (“from the direction of Edom”) this must refer to the Dead Sea, which has been specified in the translation for clarity (cf. NEB, NLT).

[20:2]  ⁸ tc Most Hebrew mss read “from Aram” (i.e., Syria), but this must be a corruption of “Edom,” which is the reading of the LXX and Vulgate.

[20:10]  ⁹ tn Heb “now, look, the sons of Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir.”

[20:10]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “whom you did not allow Israel to enter when they came from the land of Egypt.”

[22:5]  ¹¹ sn Jehoram and Joram are alternate spellings of the Israelite king’s name (also in vv. 6-7). The shorter form is used in these verse to avoid confusion with King Jehoram of Judah, father of Azariah.

[22:5]  ¹² tn Heb “Aram” (also in v. 6).

[25:16]  ¹³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Amaziah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[25:16]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “Stop yourself! Why should they strike you down?”

[25:16]  ¹⁵ tn The verb יָעַץ (ya’ats, “has decided”) is from the same root as יוֹעֵץ (yo’ets, “counselor”) in v. 16 and עֵצָה (’etsah, “advice”) later in v. 16. The wordplay highlights the appropriate nature of the divine punishment. Amaziah rejected the counsel of God’s prophet; now he would be the victim of God’s “counsel.”

[28:18]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “Shephelah.”

[30:21]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and they were praising the Lord day by day, the Levites and the priests with instruments of strength to the Lord.” The phrase בִּכְלֵי־עֹז (bikhley-’oz, “with instruments of strength”) might refer to loud sounding musical instruments (NASB “with loud instruments”; NEB “with unrestrained fervour”). The present translation assumes an emendation to בְּכָל־עֹז (bÿkhol-’oz, “with all strength”); see 1 Chr 13:8, as well as HALOT 805 s.v. I עֹז and BDB 739 s.v. עֹז).

[32:21]  ¹⁸ tn Or “an angel.”

[32:21]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Sennacherib) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[32:21]  ²⁰ tn Heb “and he returned with shame of face to his land.”

[32:21]  ²¹ tn Heb “and some from those who went out from him, from his inward parts.”

[35:21]  ²² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Neco) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[35:21]  ²³ tn Heb “What to me and to you, king of Judah?”

[35:21]  ²⁴ tn Heb “Not against you, you, today, but against the house of my battle.”

[35:21]  ²⁵ tn Heb “Stop yourself from [opposing] God who is with me and let him not destroy you.”
