[28:5]  ¹ tn Heb “from all my sons, for many sons the Lord has given to me, he chose Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.”

[29:22]  ² tn Heb “they ate and drank.”

[29:22]  ³ tn Heb “with great joy.”

[29:22]  ⁴ sn See 1 Chr 23:1, where David had previously designated Solomon as king over Israel.

[29:23]  ⁵ tn Heb “listened to him.”

[29:24]  ⁶ tn Heb “placed a hand under Solomon the king.”

[29:25]  ⁷ tn Heb “and gave to him glory of kingship which there was not concerning every king before him over Israel.”

[29:1]  ⁸ tn Heb “a young man and tender.”

[1:1]  ⁹ tn Or “produced,” Grk “made.”

[1:1]  ¹⁰ tn Or “first.” The translation “former” is preferred because “first” could imply to the modern English reader that the author means that his previous account was the first one to be written down. The Greek term πρῶτος (prwtos) does not necessarily mean “first” in an absolute sense, but can refer to the first in a set or series. That is what is intended here – the first account (known as the Gospel of Luke) as compared to the second one (known as Acts).

[1:1]  ¹¹ tn The Greek word λόγος (logos) is sometimes translated “book” (NRSV, NIV) or “treatise” (KJV). A formal, systematic treatment of a subject is implied, but the word “book” may be too specific and slightly misleading to the modern reader, so “account” has been used.

[1:1]  sn The former account refers to the Gospel of Luke, which was “volume one” of the two-volume work Luke-Acts.

[1:1]  ¹² tn Grk “O Theophilus,” but the usage of the vocative in Acts with ὦ (w) is unemphatic, following more the classical idiom (see ExSyn 69).
