1 tn Heb “and Solomon son of David strengthened himself over his kingdom.”

2 tn The disjunctive clause (note the vav [ו] + subject pattern) probably has a causal nuance here.

3 map For location see Map5 B1; Map6 F3; Map7 E2; Map8 F2; Map10 B3; JP1 F4; JP2 F4; JP3 F4; JP4 F4.

4 tn Heb “you word.”

5 tn Or “be firm, established.”

6 tn Heb “Huram,” but here this refers to Huram Abi (2 Chr 2:13). The complete name has been used in the translation to avoid possible confusion with King Huram of Tyre.

7 tn Heb “Huram finished doing all the work which he did for King Solomon [on] the house of God.”

8 tn Heb “Indeed, can God really live with mankind on the earth?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “Of course not,” the force of which is reflected in the translation “God does not really live with mankind on the earth.”

9 tn Heb “May your eyes be open and your ears attentive to the prayer of this place.”

10 tc Heb “do not turn away the face of your anointed ones.” Many medieval Hebrew mss, as well as the ancient versions, read the singular, “your anointed,” which would probably refer to Solomon specifically, rather than the people.

11 tn The Hebrew pronoun is plural, suggesting that Solomon and all Israel (or perhaps Solomon and his successors) are in view. To convey this to the English reader, the translation “you people” has been employed.

12 tn Heb “which I placed before you.”

13 tn Heb “and walk and serve other gods and bow down to them.”

14 tn Heb “and all the kings of the earth were seeking the face of Solomon to hear his wisdom which God had placed in his heart.”

15 tn Heb “saying.”

16 tn Heb “to enslave as male servants and female servants.”

17 tn Heb “sons.”

18 tn Heb “fathers.”

19 tn Heb “and cities he made for himself.”

20 tn Heb “in the eyes of.”
