1 Tawarikh 17:18

17:18 What more can David say ³  to you? You have honored your servant; you have given your servant special recognition. ⁴ 

1 Tawarikh 17:27

17:27 Now you are willing to bless your servant’s dynasty ⁵  so that it may stand permanently before you, for you, O Lord, have blessed it and it will be blessed from now on into the future.” ⁶

[17:25]  ¹ tn Heb “house.”

[17:25]  ² tn Heb “That is why your servant found to pray before you.” Perhaps the phrase אֶת לִבּוֹ (’et libbo, “his heart”) should be supplied as the object of the verb “found.”

[17:18]  ³ tn The word “say” is supplied in the translation for clarification.

[17:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “for honoring your servant, and you, your servant, know.”

[17:27]  ⁵ tn Heb “house.”

[17:27]  ⁶ tn Heb “for you, O Lord, have blessed and [it is] blessed permanently.”

[17:19]  ⁷ tn Heb “heart.”

[17:19]  ⁸ tn Heb “to make known all the great deeds.”

[17:26]  ⁹ tn Heb “the God.” The article indicates uniqueness here.

[17:26]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and you have spoken to your servant this good thing.”

[29:15]  ¹¹ tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 18, 20).

[29:15]  ¹² tn Or perhaps “hope.”

[17:24]  ¹³ tn Following the imperative in v. 23b, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result: “so it might become a reality.”

[17:24]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “so it might be established.”

[17:24]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and your name might be great permanently.” Following the imperative in v. 23b, the prefixed verbal form with vav conjunctive indicates purpose/result (parallel to the previous purpose/result clause): “[so]…you might gain lasting fame.”

[17:24]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “saying.” The words “as people” are supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.

[17:24]  ¹⁷ tc Heb “the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts], the God of Israel, Israel’s God.” The phrases אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל (’elohey yisra’el, “God of Israel”) and אֱלֹהִים לְיִשְׂרָאֵל (’elohim lÿyisra’el, “Israel’s God”) are probably alternative readings that have been conflated in the text.

[17:24]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “the house of David.”

[17:23]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and now, O Lord, the word which you spoke concerning your servant and concerning his house, may it be established permanently.”

[17:23]  ²⁰ tn Heb “as you have spoken.”

[17:17]  ²¹ 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]  ²² 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.”
