¹ tn Heb “the food on his table.”

² tn Heb “the seating of his servants and the standing of his attendants.”

³ tc The Hebrew text has here, “and his upper room [by] which he was going up to the house of the Lord.” But עֲלִיָּתוֹ (’aliyyato, “his upper room”) should be emended to עֹלָתוֹ, (’olato, “his burnt sacrifice[s]”). See the parallel account in 1 Kgs 10:5.

⁴ tn Or “it took her breath away”; Heb “there was no breath still in her.”

⁵ tn Heb “tracks.” The parallel text in 1 Kgs 10:12 has a different term whose meaning is uncertain: “supports,” perhaps “banisters” or “parapets.”

⁶ tn Two types of stringed instruments are specifically mentioned in the Hebrew text, the כִּנּוֹר (kinnor, “zither”) and נֶבֶל (nevel, “harp”).

⁷ tn Heb “there was not seen like these formerly in the land of Judah.”

⁸ tn Heb “became sick in his feet.”

⁹ tn Heb “unto upwards [i.e., very severe [was] his sickness, and even in his sickness he did not seek the Lord, only the healers.

¹⁰ tn Heb “took.”

¹¹ tn Heb “Jehoiada the head”; the word “priest” not in the Hebrew text but is implied.

¹² tn Heb “sought.”

¹³ tn Heb “bring.”

¹⁴ tn Heb “the tent of testimony.”

¹⁵ tn Heb “turned toward.”

¹⁶ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹⁷ 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.”

¹⁸ tn Heb “to purify the land and the house.”

¹⁹ tn Heb “sent and brought him.”

²⁰ tn Heb “and he made Zedekiah his brother king.” According to the parallel text in 2 Kgs 24:17, Zedekiah was Jehoiachin’s uncle, not his brother. Therefore many interpreters understand אח here in its less specific sense of “relative” (NEB “made his father’s brother Zedekiah king”; NASB “made his kinsman Zedekiah king”; NIV “made Jehoiachin’s uncle, Zedekiah, king”; NRSV “made his brother Zedekiah king”).

²¹ tn Heb “like the abominable practices of the nations.”
