¹ tn Heb “did.”

² sn These poles were used to carry the ark. The Levites were to carry it with the poles on their shoulders. See Exod 25:13-15; 1 Chr 15:15.

³ tn Heb “and when the priests went from the holy place.” The syntactical relationship of this temporal clause to the following context is unclear. Perhaps the thought is completed in v. 14 after a lengthy digression.

⁴ tn Heb “Indeed [or “for”] all the priests who were found consecrated themselves without guarding divisions.”

⁵ tn The words “O Lord” do not appear in the Hebrew text, but they are supplied in the translation for clarification; Solomon addresses the Lord in prayer at this point.

⁶ tn Heb “their prayer and their requests for help.”

⁷ tn Heb “and accomplish their justice.”
