¹ tn Heb “and these are the founding of Solomon to build the house of God.”

² tn Heb “the length [in] cubits by the former measure was sixty cubits, and a width of twenty cubits.” Assuming a length of 18 inches (45 cm) for the standard cubit, the length of the foundation would be 90 feet (27 m) and its width 30 feet (9 m).

³ tn Heb “Huram,” but here this refers to Huram Abi (2 Chr 2:13). The complete name has been used in the translation to avoid possible confusion with King Huram of Tyre.

⁴ tn Heb “Huram finished doing all the work which he did for King Solomon [on] the house of God.”

⁵ tn Heb “the bread of the face/presence.”

sn This bread offered to God was viewed as a perpetual offering to God. See Lev 24:5-9.

⁶ tn Heb “were not able to stand to serve.”

⁷ tn Heb “and he brought the holy things of his father and his holy things [into] the house of God, silver, gold, and items.”

⁸ tn The Hebrew text lists two different types of shields here. Most translations render “the large and small shields” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV; NEB “King David’s spears, shields, and bucklers”).

⁹ tn Heb “did not listen.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “because it was from God in order to give them into the hand because they sought the gods of Edom.”

¹¹ tn Heb “and in all the work which he began with regard to the service of the house of God and with respect to the law and with respect to the commandment, to seek his God; with all his heart he acted and he succeeded.”

¹² tn Heb “hand.”
