| (0.30) | (Est 2:7) | 3 tn Heb “for there was not to her father or mother.” This is universally understood to mean Esther’s father and mother were no longer alive. |
| (0.30) | (2Ch 36:7) | 2 tn Heb “in Babylon.” Repeating the proper name “Babylon” here would be redundant in contemporary English, so “there” has been used in the translation. |
| (0.30) | (2Ch 6:20) | 1 tn Heb “so your eyes might be open toward this house night and day, toward the place about which you promised to place your name there.” |
| (0.30) | (1Ch 24:29) | 1 tc The Hebrew text has, “Belonging to [i.e., from] Kish, the sons of Kish, Jerahmeel.” There appears to be a conflation of headings. |
| (0.30) | (1Ch 22:16) | 1 tn Heb “and every kind of skilled one in all work, concerning gold, concerning silver, and concerning bronze, and concerning iron, there is no numbering.” |
| (0.30) | (1Ch 1:17) | 2 tc The MT of the parallel geneaology in Gen 10:23 reads “Mash,” but the LXX there reads “Meshech” in agreement with 1 Chr 1:17. |
| (0.30) | (2Ki 18:5) | 1 tn Heb “and after him there was none like him among all the kings of Judah, and those who were before him.” |
| (0.30) | (2Ki 10:23) | 2 tn Heb “Search carefully and observe so that there are not here with you any servants of the Lord, but only the servants of Baal.” |
| (0.30) | (1Ki 8:29) | 1 tn Heb “so your eyes might be open toward this house night and day, toward the place about which you said, ‘My name will be there.’” |
| (0.30) | (1Ki 4:28) | 1 tn Heb “barley and straw for the horses and the steeds they brought to the place which was there, each according to his measure.” |
| (0.30) | (1Ki 3:13) | 2 tn Heb “so that there is not one among the kings like you all your days.” The LXX lacks the words “all your days.” |
| (0.30) | (1Ki 3:12) | 5 tn Heb “so that there has not been one like you prior to you, and after you one will not arise like you.” |
| (0.30) | (2Sa 23:18) | 2 tn Heb “and he was wielding his spear against three hundred, [who were] slain, and to him there was a name among the three.” |
| (0.30) | (2Sa 15:35) | 1 tn Heb “Will not Zadok and Abiathar the priests be there with you?” The rhetorical question draws attention to the fact that Hushai will not be alone. |
| (0.30) | (2Sa 7:27) | 2 tn Heb “a house.” This maintains the wordplay from v. 11 (see the note on the word “house” there) and is continued in v. 29. |

| (0.30) | (Jdg 19:15) | 2 tn Heb “and he entered and sat down, and there was no one receiving them into the house to spend the night.” |
