[1:20]  ¹ tc Many Hebrew mss have עַתָּה (’attah, “now”) rather than the similar sounding independent pronoun אַתָּה (’attah, “you”).

[1:20]  ² tn Heb “the eyes of all Israel are upon you to declare to them who will sit on the throne of my master the king after him.”

[1:27]  ³ tc Many Hebrew mss and ancient textual witnesses agree with the Qere in reading this as singular, “your servant.”

[1:27]  ⁴ tn Heb “From my master the king is this thing done, and you did not make known to your servants who will sit on the throne of my master the king after him?”

[1:34]  ⁵ tn Or “designate” (i.e., by anointing with oil).

[1:35]  ⁶ tn Or “commanded.”

[3:13]  ⁷ tn The translation assumes that the perfect tense here indicates that the action occurs as the statement is made.

[3:13]  ⁸ tn Heb “so that there is not one among the kings like you all your days.” The LXX lacks the words “all your days.”

[7:12]  ⁹ tn Or “the porch of the temple.”

[7:35]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and on top of the stand, a half cubit [in] height, round all around” (the meaning of this description is uncertain).

[11:22]  ¹⁷ sn So Hadad asked Pharaoh… This lengthy description of Hadad’s exile in Egypt explains why Hadad wanted to oppose Solomon and supports the author’s thesis that his hostility to Solomon found its ultimate source in divine providence. Though Hadad enjoyed a comfortable life in Egypt, when the Lord raised him up (apparently stirring up his desire for vengeance) he decided to leave the comforts of Egypt and return to Edom.

[18:38]  ¹⁸ tn The words “from the sky” are added for stylistic reasons.

[19:6]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and again lay down”

[20:12]  ²⁰ tn Heb “When he heard this word.”

[20:12]  ²¹ tn Heb “in the temporary shelters.” This is probably referring to tents.
