¹ tn Or “disciplined.”

² tn Heb “did not correct him from his days.” The phrase “from his days” means “from his earliest days,” or “ever in his life.” See GKC 382 §119.w, n. 2.

³ tn Heb “and she gave birth to him after Absalom.” This does not imply they had the same mother; Absalom’s mother was Maacah, not Haggith (2 Sam 3:4).

⁴ tn Heb “and a porch for the throne, where he was making judicial decisions, the Porch of Judgment, he made.”

⁵ tc The Hebrew text reads, “from the floor to the floor.” The second occurrence of the term הַקַּרְקָע (haqqarqa’, “the floor”) is probably an error; one should emend to הַקּוֹרוֹת (haqqorot, “the rafters”). See 6:16.

⁶ tn Heb “and his house where he lived, the other court [i.e., as opposed to the great court], separated from the house belonging to the hall, was like this work [i.e., this style of architecture].”

⁷ tn Heb “and a house he was making for the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Solomon had taken, like this porch.”

⁸ tn Heb “four cubits.”

⁹ tn Heb “four cubits.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “three cubits.”

¹¹ tn Heb “and on top of the stand, a half cubit [in] height, round all around” (the meaning of this description is uncertain).

¹² tn Heb “forty baths” (a bath was a liquid measure roughly equivalent to six gallons).

¹³ tn Heb “four cubits, each basin.” It is unclear which dimension is being measured.

¹⁴ tn Heb “Hiram.” The proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

¹⁵ tn Heb “Hiram finished doing all the work which he did for King Solomon [on] the house of the Lord.”

¹⁶ tn Heb “the bread of the face [or presence].” Many recent English versions employ “the bread of the Presence,” although this does not convey much to the modern reader.

sn This bread was viewed as a perpetual offering to God and was regarded as holy. See Lev 24:5-9.

¹⁷ tn Heb “these [were] the officials of the governors who were over the work belonging to Solomon, five hundred fifty, the ones ruling over the people, the ones doing the work.”

¹⁸ tn Or “a fleet” (in which case “ships” would be implied).

¹⁹ tn Heb “him”; the referent (Solomon) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²⁰ tc The Old Greek translation has “a conspiracy” rather than “male cultic prostitutes.”

²¹ tn Heb “they did according to all the abominable acts of the nations.”

²² tn Heb “Ahab”; the proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.
