1 Tawarikh 11:19

11:19 and said, “God forbid that I should do this! ¹  Should I drink the blood of these men who risked their lives?” ²  Because they risked their lives to bring it to him, he refused to drink it. Such were the exploits of the three elite warriors. ³ 

1 Tawarikh 25:5

25:5 All these were the sons of Heman, the king’s prophet. God had promised him these sons in order to make him prestigious. ⁴  God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

1 Tawarikh 26:32

26:32 Jeriah had 2,700 relatives who were respected family leaders. ⁵  King David placed them in charge of the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh; they took care of all matters pertaining to God and the king. ⁶ 

1 Tawarikh 29:5

29:5 for gold and silver items, and for all the work of the craftsmen. Who else wants to contribute to the Lord today?”

1 Tawarikh 29:7

29:7 They donated for the service of God’s temple 5,000 talents ⁷  and ten thousand darics ⁸  of gold, 10,000 talents of silver, 18,000 talents of bronze, and 100,000 talents of iron.

[11:19]  ¹ tn Heb “Far be it to me from my God from doing this.”

[11:19]  ² tn Heb “with their lives.” The same expression occurs later in this verse.

[11:19]  ³ tn Heb “These things the three warriors did.”

[25:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “by the words of God to exalt a horn.” An animal’s horn is sometimes used metaphorically as a symbol of strength and honor. See BDB 901-2 s.v. קֶרֶנ.

[26:32]  ⁵ tn Heb “and his brothers, sons of respect, [were] 2,700, heads of fathers.”

[26:32]  ⁶ tn Heb “with respect to every matter of God and matter of the king.”

[29:7]  ⁷ tn See the note on the word “talents” in 19:6. Using the “light” standard talent of 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg) as the standard for calculation, the people donated 168.3 tons (153,000 kg) of gold, 336.5 tons (306,000 kg) of silver, 605.7 tons (550,800 kg) of bronze, and 3,365 tons (3,060,000 kg) of iron.

[29:7]  ⁸ tn On the “daric” as a unit of measure, see BDB 204 s.v. דַּרְכְּמוֹן. Some have regarded the daric as a minted coin, perhaps even referring to the Greek drachma, but this is less likely.

[29:7]  sn The daric was a unit of weight perhaps equal to between 8 and 9 grams (just under one-third of an ounce), so 10,000 darics of gold would weigh between 80 and 90 kilograms (between 176 and 198 pounds).
