[9:21]  ¹ tn Heb “for ships belonging to the king were going [to] Tarshish with the servants of Huram.” This probably refers to large ships either made in or capable of traveling to the distant western port of Tarshish.

[9:21]  ² tn Heb “servants.”

[9:21]  ³ tn Heb “the fleet of Tarshish [ships].”

[9:21]  ⁴ tn Heb “the ships of Tarshish came carrying.”

[9:21]  ⁵ tn The meaning of this word is unclear; some suggest it refers to “baboons.” NEB has “monkeys,” NASB, NRSV “peacocks,” and NIV “baboons.”

[10:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “made our yoke burdensome.”

[10:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “but you, now, lighten the burdensome work of your father and the heavy yoke which he placed on us, and we will serve you.” In the Hebrew text the prefixed verbal form with vav (וְנַעַבְדֶךָ, vÿna’avdekha, “and we will serve you”) following the imperative (הָקֵל, haqel, “lighten”) indicates purpose/result. The conditional sentence used in the present translation is an attempt to bring out the logical relationship between these forms.

[13:10]  ⁸ tn Heb “and priests serving the Lord [are] the sons of Aaron and the Levites in the work.”

[24:27]  ⁹ tn Heb “his”; the referent (Joash) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:27]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “And his sons and the abundance of the oracle[s] against him, and the founding of the house of God, look are they not written on the writing of the scroll of the kings?”

[29:35]  ¹¹ tn Or “established.”

[31:4]  ¹² tn Heb “said to.”

[31:4]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “might hold firmly.”

[32:4]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and they closed up all the springs and the stream that flows in the midst of the land.” Here אָרֶץ (’arets, “land”) does not refer to the entire land, but to a smaller region like a district.

[32:4]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “land, saying.”

[32:30]  ¹⁷ sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.
