[4:11]  ¹ tn Heb “Huram,” but here this refers to Huram Abi (2 Chr 2:13). The complete name has been used in the translation to avoid possible confusion with King Huram of Tyre.

[4:11]  ² tn Heb “Huram finished doing all the work which he did for King Solomon [on] the house of God.”

[6:23]  ³ tn Heb “and you, hear [from] heaven and act and judge your servants by repaying the guilty, to give his way on his head, and to declare the innocent to be innocent, to give to him according to his innocence.”

[6:37]  ⁴ tn Heb “they”; the referent (God’s people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:37]  ⁵ tn Or “stop and reflect”; Heb “bring back to their heart.”

[6:37]  ⁶ tn Or “done wrong.”

[8:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “Solomon.” The recurrence of the proper name is unexpected in terms of contemporary English style, so the pronoun has been used in the translation instead.

[8:6]  ⁸ tn Heb “the cities of the chariots and the cities of the horses.”

[8:6]  ⁹ map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

[8:6]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and all the desire of Solomon which he desired to build in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land of his kingdom.”

[12:7]  ¹¹ tn Heb “the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying.”

[12:7]  ¹² tn Heb “and I will give to them soon deliverance.”

[12:7]  ¹³ tn Or “gush forth upon.”

[12:7]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “by the hand of.”

[13:9]  ¹⁵ tn In the Hebrew text this is phrased as a rhetorical question, “Did you not banish?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “Of course you did,” the force of which is reflected in the translation “But you banished.”

[13:9]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “whoever comes to fill his hand with a bull of a son of cattle, and seven rams, and he is a priest to no-gods.”

[20:15]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “all Judah.” The words “you people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” by metonymy for the people of Judah. Unlike the previous instance in v. 13 where infants, wives, and children are mentioned separately, this reference appears to include them all.

[20:15]  ¹⁸ tn Or perhaps “don’t get discouraged.”

[34:25]  ¹⁹ tn Or “burned incense.”

[34:25]  ²⁰ tn Heb “angering me with all the work of their hands.” The present translation assumes this refers to idols they have manufactured (note the preceding reference to “other gods”). However, it is possible that this is a general reference to their sinful practices, in which case one might translate, “angering me by all the things they do.”
