¹ tn Heb “and Solomon son of David strengthened himself over his kingdom.”

² tn The disjunctive clause (note the vav [ו] + subject pattern) probably has a causal nuance here.

³ tn Heb “wisdom and discernment are given to you.”

⁴ tn Heb “which was not so for the kings who were before you, and after you there will not be so.”
