4 tn Heb “cedars.” The word “logs” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
5 tn Heb “to build for him a house to live in it.”
6 tn This is probably a variant name for almug trees; see 9:10-11 and the parallel passage in 1 Kgs 10:11-12; cf. NLT. One or the other probably arose through metathesis of letters.
7 tn Heb “know.”
8 sn As a unit of dry measure a kor was roughly equivalent to six bushels (about 220 liters).
9 tn Heb “20,000 baths” (also a second time later in this verse). A bath was a liquid measure roughly equivalent to six gallons (about 22 liters), so this was a quantity of about 120,000 gallons (440,000 liters).
