1 tn Heb “the king.”
2 tn The plural form is used in the Hebrew text to indicate honor and authority.
3 tn Heb “mount Solomon my son on the mule that belongs to me and take him down to Gihon.”
4 tn Heb “and you, hear [from] heaven and act and judge your servants by declaring the guilty to be guilty, to give his way on his head, and to declare the innocent to be innocent, to give to him according to his innocence.”
5 tn Or “gathered.”

7 tn In the Hebrew text the verb “we will respond” is plural, although it can be understood as an editorial “we.” The ancient versions have the singular here.
8 tn Heb “Lighten the yoke which your father placed on us.”
9 tn The Hebrew text has “and his sons saw” (וַיִּרְאוּ [vayyir’u], Qal from רָאָה [ra’ah]). In this case the verbal construction (vav consecutive + prefixed verbal form) would have to be understood as pluperfect, “his sons had seen.” Such uses of this construction are rare at best. Consequently many, following the lead of the ancient versions, prefer to emend the verbal form to a Hiphil with pronominal suffix (וַיַּרְאֻהוּ [vayyar’uhu], “and they showed him”).
10 tn Heb “the man of God.”
11 tn Heb “to the people.”
12 tn Heb “each struck down his man.”
13 tn Heb “his.”
14 tn Heb “elders.”
15 tn Heb “and the nobles who were living in his city.”
16 tn Heb “did as Jezebel sent to them, just as was written in the scrolls which she sent to them.”
