¹ tn Heb “feared,” perhaps in the sense, “stood in awe of.”

² tn Heb “saw.”

³ tn Heb “the wisdom of God within him.”

⁴ tn Heb “the food on his table.”

⁵ tn Heb “the seating of his servants and the standing of his attendants.”

⁶ tn Heb “there was no breath still in her.”

⁷ tn Heb “you must not go into them, and they must not go into you.”

⁸ tn Heb “Surely they will bend your heart after their gods.” The words “if you do” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

⁹ tn Heb “Solomon clung to them for love.” The pronominal suffix, translated “them,” is masculine here, even though it appears the foreign women are in view. Perhaps this is due to attraction to the masculine forms used of the nations earlier in the verse.

¹⁰ tn Heb “against him”; the referent (Nadab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
