[1:14]  ¹ tn In the Hebrew text the sentence is introduced by the particle הִנֵּה (hinneh, “look”), which here draws attention to Nathan’s concluding word of assurance and support. For this use of the word, see HALOT 252 s.v. הִנֵּה.

[1:14]  ² tc The Hebrew text reads, “I will come after you.”

[1:14]  ³ tn Heb “fill up [i.e., confirm] your words.”

[1:40]  ⁴ tn Heb “and all the people went up after him, and the people were playing flutes and rejoicing with great joy and the ground split open at the sound of them.” The verb בָּקַע (baqa’, “to split open”), which elsewhere describes the effects of an earthquake, is obviously here an exaggeration for the sake of emphasis.

[4:28]  ⁵ tn Heb “barley and straw for the horses and the steeds they brought to the place which was there, each according to his measure.”

[4:34]  ⁶ tn Heb “the wisdom of Solomon.”

[5:17]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the king commanded.”

[10:6]  ⁸ tn Heb “about your words [or perhaps, “deeds”] and your wisdom.”

[12:12]  ⁹ tn Heb “came.”

[18:39]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “the God” (the phrase occurs twice in this verse).

[22:46]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and the rest of the male cultic prostitutes who were left in the days of Asa his father, he burned from the land.” Some understand the verb בִּעֵר (bi’er) to mean “sweep away” here rather than “burn.” See the note at 1 Kgs 14:10.

[22:46]  sn Despite Asa’s opposition to these male cultic prostitutes (see 1 Kgs 15:12) some of them had managed to remain in the land. Jehoshaphat finished what his father had started.
