[1:7]  ¹ tn Heb “his words were.”

[1:7]  ² tn Heb “helped after” (i.e., stood by).

[1:7]  ³ tn Heb “Adonijah.” The proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“him”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[3:8]  ⁴ tn There is no verb expressed in the Hebrew text; “stands” is supplied in the translation for clarification.

[3:8]  ⁵ tn Heb “your people whom you have chosen.”

[4:25]  ⁶ tn Heb “Judah and Israel lived securely, each one under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan to Beer Sheba, all the days of Solomon.”

[13:23]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and he saddled for him the donkey, for the prophet whom he had brought back.”

[13:30]  ¹⁶ tn “They” is the reading of the Hebrew text here; perhaps this is meant to include not only the old prophet but his sons (cf. v. 31).

[14:16]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “and he will give [up] Israel.”
