1 tn Heb “from all of them.”
2 tn Heb “stood before the king.”
3 tc The MT lacks the conjunction, reading the first word in the phrase as a construct (“wisdom of insight”). While this reading is not impossible, it seems better to follow Theodotion, the Syriac, the Vulgate, and the Sahidic Coptic, all of which have the conjunction.
4 tn Heb “hands.”
