¹ tn Heb “[were] over the laborers and were directing every doer of work for work assignment and work assignment.”

² tn Heb “counted,” perhaps “conscripted” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV).

³ tn Heb “carriers of loads.”

⁴ tn Or “quarry workers”; Heb “cutters” (probably referring to stonecutters).

⁵ tc The parallel text of MT in 1 Kgs 5:16 has “thirty-six hundred,” but some Greek mss there read “thirty-six hundred” in agreement with 2 Chr 2:2, 18.

tn Heb “and 3,600 supervisors over them.”
