1:1 Solomon son of David solidified his royal authority, 1 for 2 the Lord his God was with him and magnified him greatly.
11:22 Rehoboam appointed Abijah son of Maacah as the leader over his brothers, for he intended to name him his successor. 3
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 “and Rehoboam appointed for a head Abijah son of Maacah for ruler among his brothers, indeed to make him king.”
