¹tn Heb “do loyalty with”; or “act faithfully toward.”

²tn Heb “and let them be among the ones who eat [at] your table.”

³tn Heb “drew near to.”

⁴tn Heb “house.”

⁵tn Heb “his throne.”

⁶tn Heb “your great name.” See the note on the word “reputation” in the previous verse.

⁷tn Heb “and your strong hand and your outstretched arm.”

⁸tn Heb “May your eyes be open.”

¹²tn The Hebrew text has “and his sons saw” (וַיִּרְאוּ [vayyir’u], Qal from רָאָה [ra’ah]). In this case the verbal construction (vav consecutive + prefixed verbal form) would have to be understood as pluperfect, “his sons had seen.” Such uses of this construction are rare at best. Consequently many, following the lead of the ancient versions, prefer to emend the verbal form to a Hiphil with pronominal suffix (וַיַּרְאֻהוּ [vayyar’uhu], “and they showed him”).

¹³tn Heb “the man of God.”

¹⁴tn Heb “and he will give [up] Israel.”

¹⁵tn Heb “walked in all the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat and in his sin which he made Israel sin.”

¹⁶tn Heb “angering the Lord God of Israel with their empty things.”
