[2:3]  ¹ tn Heb “Huram.” Some medieval Hebrew mss, along with the LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate spell the name “Hiram,” agreeing with 1 Chr 14:1. “Huram” is a variant spelling referring to the same individual.

[2:3]  ² map For location see Map1 A2; Map2 G2; Map4 A1; JP3 F3; JP4 F3.

[2:3]  ³ tn The words “help me” are supplied in the translation for clarification and stylistic reasons.

[2:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “cedars.” The word “logs” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

[2:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “to build for him a house to live in it.”

[6:28]  ⁶ tn Actually two Hebrew words appear here, both of which are usually (but not always) taken as referring to locusts. Perhaps different stages of growth or different varieties are in view, but this is uncertain. NEB has “locusts new-sloughed or fully grown”; NASB has “locust or grasshopper”; NIV has “locusts or grasshoppers”; NRSV has “locust, or caterpillar.”

[6:28]  ⁷ tn Heb “in the land, his gates.”

[6:38]  ⁸ tn Or “soul.”

[6:38]  ⁹ tn Heb “your name.” The word “name” sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor (thus the translation here, “your honor”).

[20:17]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the deliverance of the Lord with you.”

[20:17]  ¹¹ tn Or perhaps “don’t get discouraged.”

[22:11]  ¹² sn Jehoshabeath is a variant spelling of the name Jehosheba (2 Kgs 11:2).

[22:11]  ¹³ tn Heb “the king”; the referent (King Jehoram, see later in this verse) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:11]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “stole.”

[32:12]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “Did not he, Hezekiah, eliminate…?” This rhetorical question presupposes a positive reply (“yes, he did”) and so has been translated here as a positive statement.

[32:12]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “his”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[33:14]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Manasseh) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[33:14]  ¹⁸ sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.
