1 tn Heb “and it was related to King Solomon.”
2 tn Heb “so Solomon sent Benaiah son of Jehoiada, saying.”
3 tn Heb “a hearing heart.” (The Hebrew term translated “heart” often refers to the mental faculties.)
4 tn Heb “to judge.”
5 tn Heb “to understand between good and evil.”
6 tn Heb “for”; the word “otherwise” is used to reflect the logical sense of the statement.
7 tn Heb “who is able?” The rhetorical question anticipates the answer, “no one.”
8 tn Heb “to judge.”
9 tn Heb “your numerous people.”
10 tn Or “valuable” (see 5:17).
11 tn Heb “according to the measurement of chiseled [stone].”
12 tn Heb “inside and out.”
13 tn The precise meaning of the Hebrew word טְפָחוֹת (tÿfakhot) is uncertain, but it is clear that the referent stands in opposition to the foundation.
14 tn Or “south.”
15 sn The name Jakin appears to be a verbal form and probably means, “he establishes.”
16 tn Or “north.”
17 sn The meaning of the name Boaz is uncertain. For various proposals, see BDB 126-27 s.v. בעז. One attractive option is to revocalize the name as בְּעֹז (be’oz, “in strength”) and to understand it as completing the verbal form on the first pillar. Taking the words together and reading from right to left, one can translate the sentence, “he establishes [it] in strength.”
18 tn The translation understands כִּי (ki) in an emphatic or asseverative sense.
19 tn Heb “the good way in which they should walk.”
20 tn Or “for an inheritance.”
21 tn Heb “the man of God.”
