[1:32]  ³ sn Summon…Nathan. Nathan must have left the room when Bathsheba reentered.

[4:26]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text has “40,000,” but this is probably an inflated number (nevertheless it is followed by KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV, TEV, CEV). Some Greek mss of the OT and the parallel in 2 Chr 9:25 read “4,000” (cf. NAB, NIV, NCV, NLT).

[5:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “and the king commanded.”

[7:18]  ⁶ tn Heb “he made the pillars, and two rows surrounding one latticework to cover the capitals which were on top of the pomegranates, and so he did for the second latticework.” The translation supplies “pomegranates” after “two rows,” and understands “pillars,” rather than “pomegranates,” to be the correct reading after “on top of.” The latter change finds support from many Hebrew mss and the ancient Greek version.

[11:26]  ¹³ tn Heb “raised a hand against.”

[11:26]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “Ephrathite,” which here refers to an Ephraimite (see HALOT 81 s.v. אֶפְרַיִם).

[14:14]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “house.”

[14:14]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “This is the day. What also now?” The precise meaning of the second half of the statement is uncertain.
