¹tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

²tn Heb “went up and approached and kneeled.”

⁴tn Heb “Indeed, know and see that he is seeking an occasion with respect to me.”

⁵tn Heb “Get up and go, you and your house, and live temporarily where you can live temporarily.”

⁶tn Heb “and it so happened [that] they.”
