[6:23]  ¹ tn Heb “and you, hear [from] heaven and act and judge your servants by repaying the guilty, to give his way on his head, and to declare the innocent to be innocent, to give to him according to his innocence.”

[6:30]  ² tn The words “their sin” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied for clarification.

[6:30]  ³ tn Heb “and act and give to each one according to all his ways because you know his heart.” In the Hebrew text vv. 28-30a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided up for stylistic reasons.

[6:30]  ⁴ tn Heb “Indeed you know, you alone, the heart of all the sons of mankind.”

[9:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “besides what she brought to the king.”

[9:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “turned and went.”

[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.”

[20:25]  ⁹ tn Or “army.”

[20:25]  ¹⁰ tc The MT reads פְגָרִים (fÿgarim, “corpses”), but this seems odd among a list of plunder. A few medieval Hebrew mss and the Vulgate read בְגָדִים (vÿgadim, “clothing”), which fits the context much better.

[20:25]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and they snatched away for themselves so that there was no carrying away.”

[20:25]  ¹² tn Heb “and they were three days looting the plunder for it was great.”

[21:19]  ¹³ tn Heb “and it was to days from days, and about the time of the going out of the end for the days, two, his intestines came out with his illness and he died in severe illness.”

[21:19]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and his people did not make for him a fire, like the fire of his fathers.”

[22:5]  ¹⁵ sn Jehoram and Joram are alternate spellings of the Israelite king’s name (also in vv. 6-7). The shorter form is used in these verse to avoid confusion with King Jehoram of Judah, father of Azariah.

[22:5]  ¹⁶ tn Heb “Aram” (also in v. 6).

[24:25]  ¹⁷ tn Heb “him”; the referent (Joash) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:25]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “because of the shed blood of.”

[24:25]  ¹⁹ tc The MT has the plural בְּנֵי (bÿney, “sons”), but the final yod is dittographic. Note the yod that immediately follows.

[24:25]  ²⁰ tn Heb “and he died.”

[24:25]  ²¹ sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.

[26:15]  ²² tn Heb “and his name went out to a distant place, for he did extraordinarily to be helped until he was strong.”

[29:34]  ²³ tn Heb “the burnt sacrifices.”

[29:34]  ²⁴ tn Heb “for the Levites were more pure of heart to consecrate themselves than the priests.”

[30:8]  ²⁵ tn Heb “don’t stiffen your neck” (a Hebrew idiom for being stubborn).

[30:8]  ²⁶ tn Heb “give a hand.” On the meaning of the idiom here, see HALOT 387 s.v. I יָד 2.

[30:8]  ²⁷ tn Heb “so that the rage of his anger might turn from you.” The jussive with vav conjunctive indicates purpose/result after the preceding imperative.

[30:17]  ²⁸ tn Heb “were over the slaughter of.”

[30:17]  ²⁹ tn Heb “of everyone not pure to consecrate to the Lord.”

[31:16]  ³⁰ tn Heb “in addition enrolling them by males from a son of three years and upwards, to everyone who enters the house of the Lord for a matter of a day in its day, for their service by their duties according to their divisions.”

[33:14]  ³¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Manasseh) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[33:14]  ³² sn The phrase the City of David refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.

[36:10]  ³³ tn Heb “sent and brought him.”

[36:10]  ³⁴ tn Heb “and he made Zedekiah his brother king.” According to the parallel text in 2 Kgs 24:17, Zedekiah was Jehoiachin’s uncle, not his brother. Therefore many interpreters understand אח here in its less specific sense of “relative” (NEB “made his father’s brother Zedekiah king”; NASB “made his kinsman Zedekiah king”; NIV “made Jehoiachin’s uncle, Zedekiah, king”; NRSV “made his brother Zedekiah king”).

[36:22]  ³⁵ tn The words “the reign of” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[36:22]  ³⁶ 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.

[36:22]  ³⁷ tn Heb “stirred the spirit of.”
