[7:20]  ¹ tn Heb “them.” The switch from the second to the third person pronoun is rhetorically effective, for it mirrors God’s rejection of his people – he has stopped addressing them as “you” and begun addressing them as “them.” However, the switch is awkward and confusing in English, so the translation maintains the direct address style.

[7:20]  ² tn Heb “them.” See the note on “you” earlier in this verse.

[7:20]  ³ tc Instead of “I will throw away,” the parallel text in 1 Kgs 9:7 has “I will send away.” The two verbs sound very similar in Hebrew, so the discrepancy is likely due to an oral transmissional error.

[7:20]  tn Heb “and this temple which I consecrated for my name I will throw away from before my face.”

[7:20]  ⁴ tn Heb “him,” which appears in context to refer to Israel (i.e., “you” in direct address). Many translations understand the direct object of the verb “make” to be the temple (NEB, NASB, NIV, NRSV “it”).

[7:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “and I will make him [i.e., Israel] a proverb and a taunt,” that is, a proverbial example of destruction and an object of reproach.

[9:29]  ⁶ tn Heb “As for the rest of the events of Solomon, the former and the latter, are they not written?”

[11:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “for his thing is from me.”

[11:4]  ⁸ tn Heb “and they heard the words of the Lord and returned from going against Jeroboam.”

[16:7]  ⁹ tn Heb “the seer.”

[35:7]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and Josiah supplied for the sons of the people sheep, lambs and sons of goats, the whole for the Passover sacrifices for everyone who was found according to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand cattle. These were from the property of the king.”

[36:17]  ¹¹ tn Heb “killed with the sword.”

[36:17]  ¹² tn Heb “in the house of their sanctuary.”

[36:17]  ¹³ tn Or “show compassion to.”

[36:17]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “he”; the referent (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[36:22]  ¹⁵ tn The words “the reign of” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[36:22]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “to complete the word of the Lord by the mouth of Jeremiah.”

[36:22]  sn Regarding the promise he delivered through Jeremiah see Jer 29:10.
