1 tn Or “commanded.”
2 tn I.e., designated by anointing with oil.
3 tn Heb “for it was the great high place.”
4 tn The verb form is an imperfect, which is probably used here in a customary sense to indicate continued or repeated action in past time. See GKC 314 §107.b.
5 tn Heb “look.”
6 tn Heb “look, it was not my son to whom I had given birth.”
7 tn Or “south.”
8 sn The name Jakin appears to be a verbal form and probably means, “he establishes.”
9 tn Or “north.”
10 sn The meaning of the name Boaz is uncertain. For various proposals, see BDB 126-27 s.v. בעז. One attractive option is to revocalize the name as בְּעֹז (be’oz, “in strength”) and to understand it as completing the verbal form on the first pillar. Taking the words together and reading from right to left, one can translate the sentence, “he establishes [it] in strength.”
11 tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 34, 40, 48, 53, 57, 58).
12 tn Or “toward heaven.”
13 tn Heb “[There were] armrests on each side of the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the armrests.”
14 tn Heb “bore him Genubath his son.”
15 tc The Hebrew text reads וַתִּגְמְלֵהוּ (vattigmÿlehu, “weaned him”) but a slight alteration of the consonantal text yields וַתִּגְדְלֵהוּ (vattigdÿlehu, “raised him”), which seems to make better sense.
16 tn Heb “this is the matter concerning which he raised a hand against the king.”
17 sn The city of his father David. The phrase refers here to the fortress of Zion in Jerusalem, not to Bethlehem. See 2 Sam 5:7.
18 map For location see Map5-B1; Map6-F3; Map7-E2; Map8-F2; Map10-B3; JP1-F4; JP2-F4; JP3-F4; JP4-F4.
19 tn Heb “the heart of these people could return to their master.”
20 tn Heb “the man of God.”
21 tn Heb “Jeroboam extended his hand from the altar.”
22 tn Heb “saying.”
23 tn Heb “dried up” or “withered.” TEV and NLT interpret this as “became paralyzed.”

25 tn Heb “the man of God.”
26 tn Heb “and King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah, there was no one exempt, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its wood which Baasha had built.”

28 tn The Hebrew text has “because” at the beginning of the sentence. In the Hebrew text vv. 2-3 are one sentence comprised of a causal clause giving the reason for divine punishment (v. 2) and the main clause announcing the punishment (v. 3). The translation divides this sentence for stylistic reasons.
29 tn Heb “walked in the way of Jeroboam.”
30 tn Heb “angering me by their sins.”
31 tn Heb “a little.”
32 tn Heb “for the journey is too great for you.”
33 tn Heb “So may the gods do to me, and so may they add.”

37 tn Heb “so your heart [i.e., disposition] might be well.”
38 tn Heb “Jezebel”; the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“she”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.
