1 Raja-raja 1:1

1 Raja-raja 10:28

10:28 Solomon acquired his horses from Egypt ³  and from Que; the king’s traders purchased them from Que.

[1:1]  ¹ tn Heb “was old, coming into the days” (i.e., advancing in years).

[1:1]  ² tn Or “garments.”

[10:28]  ³ sn From Egypt. Because Que is also mentioned, some prefer to see in vv. 28-29 a reference to Mutsur. Que and Mutsur were located in Cilicia/Cappadocia (in modern southern Turkey). See HALOT 625 s.v. מִצְרַיִם.
