1 tn Heb “which Hiram made for King Solomon [for] the house of the Lord.”

2 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.

3 tn Heb “the tent of assembly.”

sn The tent of meeting. See Exod 33:7-11.

4 tn Heb “and they carried the ark of the Lord…. The priests and the Levites carried them.”

5 tn Heb “and he brought the holy things of his father and his holy things (into) the house of the Lord, silver, gold, and items.” Instead of “his holy things,” a marginal reading (Qere) in the Hebrew text has “the holy things of [the house of the Lord].”
