1 tn Or “disciplined.”
2 tn Heb “did not correct him from his days.” The phrase “from his days” means “from his earliest days,” or “ever in his life.” See GKC 382 §119.w, n. 2.
3 tn Heb “and she gave birth to him after Absalom.” This does not imply they had the same mother; Absalom’s mother was Maacah, not Haggith (2 Sam 3:4).
4 tn Heb “who sold himself.”
5 tn Heb “in the eyes of.”
6 tn Heb “like Ahab…whom his wife Jezebel incited.”
7 tn Heb “a fleet of Tarshish [ships].” This probably refers to large ships either made in or capable of traveling to the distant western port of Tarshish.
