1 tn This Hebrew architectural term occurs only here. The meaning is uncertain; some have suggested “banisters” or “parapets”; cf. TEV, NLT “railings.” The parallel passage in 2 Chr 9:11 has a different word, meaning “tracks,” or perhaps “steps.”

2 tn Two types of stringed instruments are specifically mentioned, the כִּנּוֹר (kinnor, “zither” [?]), and נֶבֶל (nevel, “harp”).

3 tn Heb “there has not come thus, the fine timber, and there has not been seen to this day.”

4 tn The word “messengers” is supplied in the translation both here and in v. 20 for clarification.

5 tn Heb “who eat at the table of Jezebel.”
