¹tn Heb “and when the priests went from the holy place.” The syntactical relationship of this temporal clause to the following context is unclear. Perhaps the thought is completed in v. 14 after a lengthy digression.

²tn Heb “Indeed [or “for”] all the priests who were found consecrated themselves without guarding divisions.”

³tn Heb “Solomon held the festival at that time for seven days, and all Israel was with him, a very great assembly from Lebo Hamath to the wadi of Egypt.”

⁴tn Heb “traveling men.”

⁵tn Heb “and after them from all the tribes of Israel, the ones giving their heart[s] to seek the Lord God of Israel came [to] Jerusalem.”

⁶tn Heb “fathers.”

⁷tn Or perhaps, “governors.”

⁸tn Heb “and the terror of the Lord was upon all the kingdoms of the lands which were surrounding Judah.”

⁹tn Heb “he”; the referent (Micaiah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹⁰tn Heb “all Judah.” The words “you people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity. See the note on the word “Judah” in v. 15.

¹¹tn Heb “to worship the Lord.”

¹²tn Heb “and Jehoram arose over the kingdom of his father and strengthened himself.”

¹³tn Heb “and he killed all his brothers with the sword.”

¹⁴tc Heb “and he arose at night and defeated Edom, who had surrounded him, and the chariot officers.” The Hebrew text as it stands gives the impression that Jehoram was surrounded and launched a victorious nighttime counterattack. Yet v. 10 goes on to state that the Edomite revolt was successful. The translation above assumes an emendation of the Hebrew text. Adding a third masculine singular pronominal suffix to the accusative sign before Edom (reading אֹתוֹ [’oto, “him”] instead of just אֶת [’et]) and taking Edom as the subject of verbs allows one to translate the verse in a way that is more consistent with the context, which depicts an Israelite defeat, not victory. See also 2 Kgs 8:21.

¹⁵tn Heb “and he stationed all the people, each with his weapon in his hand, from the south shoulder of the house to the north shoulder of the house, at the altar and at the house, near the king all around.”

¹⁶tn Heb “and they arose and removed the altars which were in Jerusalem, and all the incense altars they removed and threw into the Kidron Valley.”
