1 tn Heb “because this was in your heart.”
2 tn Heb “the life of those who hate you.”
3 tn Heb “many days.”
4 tn Heb “saying.”
5 tn Heb “to build a house for my name to be there.” Here “name” is used by metonymy for the
6 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Rehoboam) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
7 tn Heb “Your father made our yoke heavy, but make it lighter upon us.”
8 tn Heb “My little one is thicker than my father’s hips.” The referent of “my little one” is not clear. The traditional view is that it refers to the little finger (so NEB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). As the following statement makes clear, Rehoboam’s point is that he is more harsh and demanding than his father.
9 sn The people’s point seems to be that they have no familial relationship with David that brings them any benefits or places upon them any obligations. They are being treated like outsiders.
10 tn Heb “each one to your tents, Israel.” The word “return” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
11 tn Heb “Now see your house, David.”
12 tn Heb “went to their tents.”
13 tn Or “for.”
14 tn The words “the people of” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The Hebrew text uses the name “Judah” by metonymy for the people of Judah.
15 tn Heb “and we will surround [them] with wall[s] and towers, doors, and bars.”
16 tn Heb “sought.”
17 tn Heb “and he has given us rest all around.”
18 tn The words “the cities” are supplied in the translation for clarification and for stylistic reasons.
19 tn Heb “called out.”
20 tn Heb “there is not with you to help between many with regard to [the one] without strength.”

30 tn Heb “sought.”
31 tn Heb “bring.”

36 tn The verb יָעַץ (ya’ats, “has decided”) is from the same root as יוֹעֵץ (yo’ets, “counselor”) in v. 16 and עֵצָה (’etsah, “advice”) later in v. 16. The wordplay highlights the appropriate nature of the divine punishment. Amaziah rejected the counsel of God’s prophet; now he would be the victim of God’s “counsel.”
