Pengkhotbah 1:12

Futility of Secular Accomplishment

1:12 I, the Teacher, have been king over Israel in Jerusalem. ¹² 

[11:13]  ¹ tn Heb “give.”

[11:35]  ² tn Heb “and I will give it to you, ten tribes.”

[11:36]  ³ tn Heb “give.”

[11:36]  ⁴ tn Heb “so there might be a lamp for David my servant all the days before me in Jerusalem.” The metaphorical “lamp” symbolizes the Davidic dynasty. Because this imagery is unfamiliar to the modern reader, the translation “so my servant David’s dynasty may continue to serve me” has been used.

[11:36]  ⁵ tn Heb “so there might be a lamp for David my servant all the days before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there.”

[12:20]  ⁶ tn Heb “there was no one [following] after the house of David except the tribe of Judah, it alone.”

[12:2]  ⁷ tc Verse 2 is not included in the Old Greek translation. See the note on 11:43.

[12:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “and Jeroboam lived in Egypt.” The parallel text in 2 Chr 10:2 reads, “and Jeroboam returned from Egypt.” In a purely consonantal text the forms “and he lived” and “and he returned” are identical (וישׁב).

[12:1]  ⁹ tn Heb “Look, I have listened to your voice.”

[12:1]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “to all which you said to me.”

[12:1]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and I have installed a king over you.”
