¹ tn Heb “and he plated the house [with] precious stone for beauty, and the gold was the gold of Parvaim.”

sn The location of Parvaim, the source of the gold for Solomon’s temple, is uncertain. Some have identified it with modern Farwa in Yemen; others relate it to the Sanskrit parvam and understand it to be a general term for the regions east of Palestine.

² tn Heb “because he did not set his heart to seek the Lord.”

³ tn Heb “the priests”; the qualifying adjective “pagan” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
