[4:11]  ¹ tn Heb “Huram,” but here this refers to Huram Abi (2 Chr 2:13). The complete name has been used in the translation to avoid possible confusion with King Huram of Tyre.

[4:11]  ² tn Heb “Huram finished doing all the work which he did for King Solomon [on] the house of God.”

[5:10]  ³ sn Horeb is another name for Mount Sinai (cf. Exod 3:1).

[5:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “in Horeb where.”

[6:32]  ⁵ tn Heb “your great name.” The word “name” sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor (thus the translation here, “your great reputation”).

[6:32]  ⁶ tn Heb “and your strong hand and your outstretched arm.”

[6:36]  ⁷ tn Heb “they”; the referent (God’s people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:9]  ⁸ tn The Hebrew word כִּכַּר (kikar, “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, by extension, to a standard unit of weight. According to the older (Babylonian) standard the “talent” weighed 130 lbs. (58.9 kg), but later this was lowered to 108.3 lbs. (49.1 kg). More recent research suggests the “light” standard talent was 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg). Using this as the standard for calculation, the weight of the gold was 8,076 lbs. (3,672 kg).

[9:9]  ⁹ tn Heb “there has not been like those spices which the queen of Sheba gave to King Solomon.”

[9:12]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “besides what she brought to the king.”

[9:12]  ¹¹ tn Heb “turned and went.”

[12:7]  ¹² tn Heb “the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying.”

[12:7]  ¹³ tn Heb “and I will give to them soon deliverance.”

[12:7]  ¹⁴ tn Or “gush forth upon.”

[12:7]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “by the hand of.”

[13:8]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “the kingdom of the Lord by the hand of the sons of David.”

[13:8]  ¹⁷ tn Or “horde”; or “multitude.”

[20:20]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “O Judah.” The words “you people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. See the note on the word “Judah” in v. 15.

[20:20]  ¹⁹ tn There is a wordplay in the Hebrew text. The Hiphil verb form הַאֲמִינוּ (ha’aminu, “trust”) and the Niphal form תֵאָמֵנוּ (te’amenu, “you will be safe”) come from the same verbal root (אָמַן, ’aman).

[21:12]  ²⁰ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Jehoram) has been specified in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[21:12]  ²¹ tn Heb “Because you…” In the Hebrew text this lengthy sentence is completed in vv. 14-15. Because of its length and complexity (and the tendency of contemporary English to use shorter sentences), the translation has divided it up into several English sentences.

[21:12]  ²² tn Heb “walked in the ways.”

[21:12]  ²³ tn Heb “in the ways of.”

[28:5]  ²⁴ tn Heb “they”; the referent (the Syrians) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[28:5]  ²⁶ tn Heb “who struck him down with a great striking.”

[28:23]  ²⁷ tn Heb “the gods of Damascus, the ones who had defeated him.” The words “he thought” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The perspective is that of Ahaz, not the narrator! Another option is that “the kings” has been accidentally omitted after “gods of.” See v. 23b.

[28:23]  ²⁸ tn Heb “said.”

[29:24]  ²⁹ tn Heb “said.”

[31:12]  ³⁰ tn Heb “tenth.”

[31:12]  ³¹ tn Heb “and holy things in faithfulness.”
