tn Heb “he”; the referent (Rehoboam) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

tn Heb “the anger of the Lord turned from him and did not destroy completely.”

tn Heb “and also in Judah there were good things.”

tn Heb “empty men, sons of wickedness.”

tn Heb “strengthened themselves.”

tn Heb “a young man and tender of heart.”

tn Heb “nevertheless good things are found with you.”

tn Here בָּעַר (baar) is not the well attested verb “burn,” but the less common homonym meaning “devastate, sweep away, remove.” See HALOT 146 s.v. II בער.
