Konteks20:39 When the king passed by, he called out to the king, “Your servant went out into the heat 1 of the battle, and then a man turned aside and brought me a prisoner. 2 He told me, ‘Guard this prisoner. If he ends up missing for any reason, 3 you will pay with your life or with a talent 4 of silver.’ 5

[20:39] 2 tn Heb “man” (also a second time later in this verse).
[20:39] 3 tn Heb “if being missed, he is missed.” The emphatic infinitive absolute before the finite verbal form lends solemnity to the warning.
[20:39] 4 tn The Hebrew term כִּכָּר (kikkar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or to a standard unit of weight, generally regarded as a talent. Since the accepted weight for a talent of metal is about 75 pounds, this would have amounted to about 75 pounds of silver.
[20:39] 5 tn Heb “your life will be in place of his life, or a unit of silver you will pay.”
[20:42] 6 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the prophet) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
[20:42] 7 tn Heb “Because you sent away the man of my destruction [i.e., that I determined should be destroyed] from [my/your?] hand, your life will be in place of his life, and your people in place of his people.”
[20:2] 8 tn Heb “to the city.”
[10:24] 9 tc The Old Greek translation and Syriac Peshitta have “all the kings of the earth.” See 2 Chr 9:23.
[10:24] 10 tn Heb “and all the earth was seeking the face of Solomon to hear his wisdom which God had placed in his heart.”
