[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.”

[9:12]  ³ tn Heb “besides what she brought to the king.”

[9:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “turned and went.”

[32:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Hezekiah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[32:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “strengthened himself and built.”

[32:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “and outside the wall another one.”

[32:5]  ⁸ sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.

[32:15]  ⁹ tn Heb “how much less.”

[32:33]  ¹¹ tn Heb “lay down with his fathers.”

[32:33]  ¹² tn Heb “and honor they did to him in his death, all Judah and the residents of Jerusalem.”
