¹ tc Instead of עַתָּה (’attah, “now”) many Hebrew mss, along with the Old Greek, Syriac Peshitta, and Latin Vulgate, have the similar sounding independent pronoun אַתָּה (’attah, “you”). This reading is followed in the present translation.

² tn Heb “you do not know [about it].”

³ tn Heb “and it was with the heart of David my father.”

⁴ tn Heb “to build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.” The word “name” in the OT sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor. The “name” of the Lord sometimes designates the Lord himself, being indistinguishable from the proper name.

⁵ tn Heb “your son, the one who came out of your body, he will build the temple for my name.”

⁶ tn Heb “[you] who kept to your servant David my father that which you spoke to him.”

⁷ tn Heb “you spoke by your mouth and by your hand you fulfilled, as this day.”

⁸ tn Heb “the words that you spoke.”

⁹ tn Or “prove to be reliable.”

¹⁰ tn “They” is the reading of the Hebrew text here; perhaps this is meant to include not only the old prophet but his sons (cf. v. 31).

¹¹ tn Heb “Let my servants go with your servants in the fleet.”
