1 Tawarikh 11:26

11:26 The mighty warriors were:

Asahel the brother of Joab,

Elhanan son of Dodo, from Bethlehem, ⁶⁷ 

1 Tawarikh 12:38

12:38 All these men were warriors who were ready to march. ⁶⁸  They came to Hebron to make David king over all Israel by acclamation; ⁶⁹  all the rest of the Israelites also were in agreement that David should become king. ⁷⁰

1 Tawarikh 14:11

14:11 So they marched against Baal Perazim and David defeated them there. David said, “Using me as his instrument, ⁷²  God has burst out against my enemies like water bursts out.” So that place is called Baal Perazim. ⁷³

1 Tawarikh 17:17

1 Tawarikh 20:2

22:5 David said, “My son Solomon is just an inexperienced young man, ⁸⁰  and the temple to be built for the Lord must be especially magnificent so it will become famous and be considered splendid by all the nations. ⁸¹  Therefore I will make preparations for its construction.” So David made extensive preparations before he died.

25:1 David and the army officers selected some of the sons of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun to prophesy as they played stringed instruments and cymbals. ⁸⁴  The following men were assigned this responsibility: ⁸⁵ 

1 Tawarikh 26:30

26:30 As for the Hebronites: Hashabiah and his relatives, 1,700 respected men, were assigned responsibilities in Israel west of the Jordan; they did the Lord’s work and the king’s service.

1 Tawarikh 28:21

28:21 Here are the divisions of the priests and Levites who will perform all the service of God’s temple. All the willing and skilled men are ready to assist you in all the work and perform their service. ⁸⁶  The officials and all the people are ready to follow your instructions.” ⁸⁷ 

1 Tawarikh 12:40

12:40 Also their neighbors, from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali, were bringing food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen. There were large supplies of flour, fig cakes, raisins, wine, olive oil, beef, and lamb, ⁸⁸  for Israel was celebrating. ⁸⁹ 

[16:24]  ¹ tn The verb “tell” is understood by ellipsis (note the preceding line).

[16:31]  ² tn Heb “let them say among the nations.”

[24:5]  ³ tn Heb “and they divided them by lots, these with these, for the officials of the holy place and the officials of God were from the sons of Eleazar and among the sons of Ithamar.”

[12:4]  ⁷ sn In the Hebrew text (BHS) a verse division occurs at this point, and for the remainder of the chapter the verse numbers of the Hebrew Bible differ by one from the English Bible. Thus 1 Chr 12:4b ET = 12:5 HT, and 12:5-40 ET = 12:6-41 HT. Beginning with 13:1 the verse numbers in the ET and HT are again the same.

[23:4]  ⁸ tn The words “David said” are supplied here in the translation for clarification. The appearance of the first person verb “I supplied” in v. 5 indicates that David is speaking here.

[12:2]  ²¹ tn The words “These were” have been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons, because of the length of the intervening material since the beginning of the verse.

[17:11]  ²² tn Heb “and it will be when your days are full to go with your ancestors.”

[17:11]  ²³ tn Heb “your seed.”

[5:2]  ³⁷ tn Heb “and [one] for a leader [was] from him.” This probably refers to the Davidic king.

[21:6]  ³⁸ tn Heb “he”; the proper name (“Joab”) has been substituted for the pronoun here for stylistic reasons; the proper name occurs at the end of the verse in the Hebrew text, where it has been replaced by the pronoun (“him”) in the translation.

[21:9]  ³⁹ tn Heb “seer.”

[6:60]  ⁴⁰ tn The parallel passage in Josh 21:17 adds “Gibeon and its pasturelands” (cf. NAB, NIV, NCV, NLT). The words “they were allotted” are supplied in the translation for both clarity and stylistic reasons.

[16:35]  ⁵² tn The words “this prayer” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[24:4]  ⁵⁵ tn Heb “And the sons of Eleazar were found to be more, with respect to the heads of men, than the sons of Ithamar, and they divided them. To the sons of Eleazar there were sixteen heads, according to the house of the fathers; and to the sons of Ithamar there were eight, according to the house of their fathers.”

[24:6]  ⁵⁶ tn Heb “one house of a father was drawn by lot for Eleazar, and one [this assumes an emendation of אָחֻז (’akhuz) to אֶחָד (’ekhad, “one”)] was drawn by lot for Ithamar.”

[12:14]  ⁵⁸ tn Heb “one for a hundred the small, and the great for a thousand.” Another option is to translate the preposition -לְ (lamed) as “against” and to understand this as a hyperbolic reference to their prowess: “the least could stand against a hundred, the greatest against a thousand.”

[21:5]  ⁵⁹ tn Heb “and Joab gave to David the number of the numbering of the army [or “people”].”

[21:5]  ⁶⁰ tn Heb “a thousand thousands and one hundred thousand.”

[5:1]  ⁶² sn The phrase when he defiled his father’s bed refers to Reuben having sexual relations with his father Jacob’s concubine Bilhah. This incident is recorded in Gen 35:22.

[12:38]  ⁶⁸ tc Heb “all these [were] men of war, helpers of the battle line.” The present translation assumes an emendation of עֹדְרֵי (’odÿrey, “helpers of”) to עֹרְכֵי, (’orÿkhey, “prepared for”).

[17:17]  ⁷⁵ tn Heb “and this was small in your eyes, O God, so you spoke concerning the house of your servant for a distance.”

[17:17]  ⁷⁶ tn The translation “You have revealed to me what men long to know” is very tentative; the meaning of the Hebrew text is unclear. The text appears to read literally, “and you see me like the searching of man, that which is upward,” which is nonsensical. The translation above assumes the following: (1) The Qal verb translated “you see me” is repointed as a Hiphil, “you showed me,” (2) תּוֹר (tor) is understood in the sense of “searching, exploring,” and (3) הַמַּעֲלָה (hamma’alah) is taken in a temporal sense of “that which lies beyond.” Thus one could translate, “you have shown me what men search for, what lies beyond.”

[20:2]  ⁷⁷ tc The translation follows the MT, which reads “of their king”; the LXX and Vulgate read “of Milcom” (cf. 1 Kgs 11:5). Milcom, also known as Molech, was the god of the Ammonites.
