[14:11]  ¹ tn The Hebrew text has “belonging to Jeroboam” here.

[16:4]  ² tn Heb “the ones belonging to Baasha.”

[21:24]  ³ tn “Dogs will eat the ones who belonging to Ahab who die in the city.”

[21:23]  ⁴ tc A few Hebrew mss and some ancient versions agree with 2 Kgs 9:10, 36, which reads, “the plot [of ground] at Jezreel.” The Hebrew words translated “outer wall” (חֵל, khel, defectively written here!) and “plot [of ground]” (חֵלֶק, kheleq) are spelled similarly.

[9:18]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew text has “in the wilderness, in the land.”

[11:29]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew text has simply “he,” making it a bit unclear whether Jeroboam or Ahijah is the subject, but in the Hebrew word order Ahijah is the nearer antecedent, and this is followed by the present translation.

[2:34]  ⁷ tn Heb “struck him and killed him.” The referent (Joab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:4]  ⁸ tn Or “broom tree” (also in v. 5).

[19:4]  ⁹ tn Heb “and asked with respect to his life to die.”

[19:4]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “fathers.”

[7:46]  ¹¹ tn Or perhaps, “molds.”

[4:23]  ¹² tn The words “in the stall” are added for clarification; note the immediately following reference to cattle from the pasture.

[20:23]  ¹³ tn Or “servants.”

[20:25]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “And you, you muster an army like the one that fell from you, horse like horse and chariot like chariot.”

[20:25]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “he listened to their voice and did so.”

[4:21]  ¹⁶ sn Beginning with 4:21, the verse numbers through 5:18 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 4:21 ET = 5:1 HT, 4:22 ET = 5:2 HT, etc., through 5:18 ET = 5:32 HT. Beginning with 6:1 the numbering of verses in the English Bible and the Hebrew text is again the same.

[4:21]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “the River” (also in v. 24). This is the standard designation for the Euphrates River in biblical Hebrew.

[4:21]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “[They] were bringing tribute and were serving Solomon all the days of his life.”

[20:28]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “the man of God.”

[20:28]  ²⁰ tn Heb “I will place all this great horde in your hand.”
