1 tn Heb “Solomon declared to her all her words; there was not a word hidden from the king which he did not declare to her.” If riddles are specifically in view (see v. 1), then one might translate, “Solomon explained to her all her riddles; there was no riddle too complex for the king.”
2 tn Heb “killed Athaliah with the sword.”
3 tn Heb “prepared.”
4 tn Heb “the people.” The pronoun “they” has been used here for stylistic reasons, to avoid redundancy.
5 tn Heb “for quickly was the matter.”
