[8:13]  ¹ tn The Hebrew phrase הַסֻּכּוֹת[חַג] (khag hassukot, “[festival of] huts” [or “shelters”]) is traditionally known as the Feast of Tabernacles. The rendering “booths” (cf. NAB, NASB, NRSV) is probably better than the traditional “tabernacles” in light of the meaning of the term סֻכָּה (sukkah, “hut; booth”), but “booths” are frequently associated with trade shows and craft fairs in contemporary American English. The nature of the celebration during this feast as a commemoration of the wanderings of the Israelites after they left Egypt suggests that a translation like “temporary shelters” is more appropriate.

[10:10]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Rehoboam) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[10:10]  ³ tn Heb “Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter upon us.”

[10:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “My little one is thicker than my father’s hips.” The referent of “my little one” is not clear. The traditional view is that it refers to the little finger (so NEB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). As the following statement makes clear, Rehoboam’s point is that he is more harsh and demanding than his father.

[27:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “he fought with.”

[27:5]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew word כִּכַּר (kikar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or, by extension, to a standard unit of weight. According to the older (Babylonian) standard the “talent” weighed 130 lbs. (58.9 kg), but later this was lowered to 108.3 lbs. (49.1 kg). More recent research suggests the “light” standard talent was 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg). Using this as the standard for calculation, the weight of the silver was 6,730 lbs. (3,060 kg).

[27:5]  ⁷ sn As a unit of dry measure a kor was roughly equivalent to six bushels (about 220 liters).

[27:5]  ⁸ tn Heb “10,000 kors of wheat and 10,000 of barley.” The unit of measure of the barley is omitted in the Hebrew text, but is understood to be “kors,” the same as the measures of wheat.

[27:5]  ⁹ tn Heb “This the sons of Ammon brought to him, and in the second year and the third.”

[29:21]  ¹⁰ sn Perhaps these terms refer metonymically to the royal court, the priests and Levites, and the people, respectively.

[29:21]  ¹¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[29:24]  ¹² tn Heb “said.”

[34:3]  ¹³ tn Heb “father.”

[34:3]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “purifying.”
