1 tn Heb “and they were helped against them and they were given over into their hand, the Hagrites and all who were with them, for to God they cried out in the battle and he was entreated [or “allowed himself to be entreated”] by them for they trusted in him.”
2 tn Heb “capable [for] the work of the task of the house of God.”
3 tn Heb “in the house of God.”
4 tn Heb “you were the one who led out and the one who brought in Israel.”
5 tn Heb “the ark of God the Lord who sits [between] the cherubim which is called [by his] name.”
6 tn Heb “by my hand.”
7 sn The name Baal Perazim means “Lord of outbursts” in Hebrew.
8 tn Heb “because for what was at first [i.e., formerly] you [were] not, the Lord our God broke out against us, because we did not seek him concerning the procedure.”
9 tn Heb “gatekeepers.”
10 tn The words “this prayer” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.
11 tn Heb “to give thanks.” The infinitive construct indicates result after the imperative.
12 tn Heb “to boast in your praise.”
13 tn Heb “and with them, Heman and Jeduthun, trumpets and cymbals for sounding, and the instrument of song of God, and the sons of Jeduthun [were] at the gate.”
14 tn Heb “house.”
15 tn Following the imperative in v. 23b, the prefixed verbal form with vav (ו) conjunctive indicates purpose/result: “so it might become a reality.”
16 tn Heb “so it might be established.”
17 tn Heb “and your name might be great permanently.” Following the imperative in v. 23b, the prefixed verbal form with vav conjunctive indicates purpose/result (parallel to the previous purpose/result clause): “[so]…you might gain lasting fame.”
18 tn Heb “saying.” The words “as people” are supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.
19 tc Heb “the Lord who commands armies [traditionally, the Lord of hosts], the God of Israel, Israel’s God.” The phrases אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל (’elohey yisra’el, “God of Israel”) and אֱלֹהִים לְיִשְׂרָאֵל (’elohim lÿyisra’el, “Israel’s God”) are probably alternative readings that have been conflated in the text.
20 tn Heb “the house of David.”
21 tn Heb “house.”
22 tn Heb “That is why your servant found to pray before you.” Perhaps the phrase אֶת לִבּוֹ (’et libbo, “his heart”) should be supplied as the object of the verb “found.”
23 tn The words “he told them” are added in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.
24 tn In the Hebrew text the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question, “Is not the Lord your God with you?” The question anticipates the response, “Of course he is!” Thus in the translation the positive statement “The Lord your God is with you!” has been used.
25 tn Heb “and he gives rest to you all around.”
26 tn Or “earth.”
27 tn Or “earth.”
28 tn Heb “father.”
29 tn Heb “these were their responsibilities for their service to enter the house of the Lord according to their manner [given] by the hand of Aaron their father, as the Lord God of Israel commanded him.”
30 tn Heb “anger was on Israel.”
31 tc The Hebrew text has “in the number,” but מִסְפַּר (mispar) is probably dittographic – note that the same word appears immediately before this. The form should be emended to בְּסֵפֶר (bÿsefar, “in the scroll”).
32 tn The words “he gave him” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.
33 tn Heb “the pattern of all which was in the spirit with him.”
34 tn See the note on the word “talents” in 19:6. Using the “light” standard talent of 67.3 lbs. (30.6 kg) as the standard for calculation, the people donated 168.3 tons (153,000 kg) of gold, 336.5 tons (306,000 kg) of silver, 605.7 tons (550,800 kg) of bronze, and 3,365 tons (3,060,000 kg) of iron.
35 tn On the “daric” as a unit of measure, see BDB 204 s.v. דַּרְכְּמוֹן. Some have regarded the daric as a minted coin, perhaps even referring to the Greek drachma, but this is less likely.
sn The daric was a unit of weight perhaps equal to between 8 and 9 grams (just under one-third of an ounce), so 10,000 darics of gold would weigh between 80 and 90 kilograms (between 176 and 198 pounds).
36 tn Heb “a heart.”
37 tn Heb “with integrity of heart.”
