1 Raja-raja 1:5

1:5 Now Adonijah, son of David and Haggith, ⁶  was promoting himself, ⁷  boasting, ⁸  “I will be king!” He managed to acquire ⁹  chariots and horsemen, as well as fifty men to serve as his royal guard. ¹⁰

1 Tawarikh 1:14

1:14 as well as the Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites,

[17:16]  ¹ tn Heb “in order to multiply horses.” The translation uses “do so” in place of “multiply horses” to avoid redundancy (cf. NAB, NIV).

[17:2]  ² tn Heb “gates.”

[17:2]  ³ tn Heb “does the evil in the eyes of the Lord your God.”

[15:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “to the voice of the words of the Lord” (so KJV).

[15:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “to the voice of the words of the Lord” (so KJV).

[1:5]  ⁶ tn Heb “son of Haggith,” but since this formula usually designates the father (who in this case was David), the translation specifies that David was Adonijah’s father.

[1:5]  sn Haggith was one of David’s wives (2 Sam 3:4; 2 Chr 3:2).

[1:5]  ⁷ tn Heb “lifting himself up.”

[1:5]  ⁸ tn Heb “saying.”

[1:5]  ⁹ tn Or “he acquired for himself.”

[1:5]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “to run ahead of him.”

[1:2]  ¹¹ tn Heb “said to.”

[1:2]  ¹² tn Heb “let them seek for my master, the king, a young girl, a virgin.” The third person plural subject of the verb is indefinite (see GKC 460 §144.f). The appositional expression, “a young girl, a virgin,” is idiomatic; the second term specifically defines the more general first term (see IBHS 230 §12.3b).

[1:2]  ¹³ tn Heb “and she will stand before the king.” The Hebrew phrase “stand before” can mean “to attend; to serve” (BDB 764 s.v. עָמַד).

[1:2]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “and she will lie down in your bosom.” The expression might imply sexual intimacy (see 2 Sam 12:3 [where the lamb symbolizes Bathsheba] and Mic 7:5), though v. 4b indicates that David did not actually have sex with the young woman.

[1:2]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “and my master, the king, will be warm.”
