¹ tn Heb “and the king, Rehoboam, strengthened himself in Jerusalem and ruled.”

² tn Heb “Rehoboam.” The recurrence of the proper name here is redundant in terms of contemporary English style, so the pronoun has been used in the translation instead.

³ tn Heb “the city where the Lord chose to place his name from all the tribes of Israel.”

⁴ tn Heb “his”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵ tn Heb “Judah.” The words “the people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” by metonymy here for the people of Judah.

⁶ tn Heb “young men going out to war.”

⁷ tn Heb “holding a spear and a shield.”

⁸ tn Heb “in addition enrolling them by males from a son of three years and upwards, to everyone who enters the house of the Lord for a matter of a day in its day, for their service by their duties according to their divisions.”
