Discovery Box| (0.25) | (1Ch 7:4) | 1 tn Heb “and unto them by their generations to the house of their fathers [were] troops of war of battle, 36,000, for they had many wives and sons.” |
| (0.25) | (2Ki 23:26) | 1 tn Heb “Yet the Lord did not turn away from the fury of his great anger because his anger raged against Judah on account of all the infuriating things by which Manasseh had made him angry.” |
| (0.25) | (2Ki 23:22) | 2 tn Heb “because there had not been observed [one] like this Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel and all the days of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah.” |
| (0.25) | (2Ki 8:19) | 2 tn Heb “just as he had said to him, to give to him a lamp for his sons all the days.” The metaphorical “lamp” symbolizes the Davidic dynasty; this is reflected in the translation. |
| (0.25) | (2Ki 5:1) | 2 tn For a discussion of מְצֹרָע (metsoraʿ), traditionally translated “leprous,” see M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 63. Naaman probably had a skin disorder of some type, not leprosy/Hansen’s disease. |
| (0.25) | (2Ki 4:30) | 1 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity. The referent must be Elisha here, since the following verse makes it clear that Gehazi had gone on ahead of them. |
| (0.25) | (2Ki 1:17) | 1 tn Heb “Jehoram replaced him as king…because he had no son.” Some ancient textual witnesses add “his brother,” perhaps to clarify that it is not the contemporary Jehoram of Judah. |
| (0.25) | (1Ki 15:22) | 1 tn Heb “and King Asa made a proclamation to all Judah, there was no one exempt, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its wood which Baasha had built.” |
| (0.25) | (1Ki 8:5) | 1 tn Heb “And King Solomon and all the assembly of Israel, those who had been gathered to him, [were] before the ark, sacrificing sheep and cattle which could not be counted or numbered because of the abundance.” |
| (0.25) | (1Ki 4:24) | 3 tn Heb “for he was ruling over all [the region] beyond the River, from Tiphsah to Gaza, over all the kingdoms beyond the River, and he had peace on every side all around.” |
| (0.25) | (1Ki 1:6) | 3 tn Heb “and she gave birth to him after Absalom.” This does not imply they had the same mother; Absalom’s mother was Maacah, not Haggith (2 Sam 3:4). |
| (0.25) | (2Sa 16:11) | 1 tn Heb “who came out from my entrails.” David’s point is that is his own son, his child whom he himself had fathered, was now wanting to kill him. |
| (0.25) | (2Sa 12:4) | 3 tn Heb “who had come to him” (also a second time later in this verse). The word “visit” has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons and for clarity. |
| (0.25) | (2Sa 11:27) | 2 tn Heb “and the thing which David had done was evil in the eyes of the Lord.” Note the verbal connection with v. 25. Though David did not regard the matter as evil, the Lord certainly did. |
| (0.25) | (2Sa 4:2) | 1 tc The present translation, “Saul’s son had two men,” is based on the reading “to the son of Saul,” rather than the MT’s “the son of Saul.” The context requires the preposition to indicate the family relationship. |
| (0.25) | (1Sa 30:19) | 1 tn Heb “there was nothing missing to them, from the small even unto the great, and unto sons and daughters, and from loot even unto all which they had taken for themselves.” |
| (0.25) | (1Sa 27:12) | 2 tn Heb “he really stinks.” The expression is used figuratively here to describe the rejection and ostracism that David had experienced as a result of Saul’s hatred of him. |
| (0.25) | (1Sa 20:34) | 1 tn Heb “for he was upset concerning David for his father had humiliated him.” The referent of the pronoun “him” is not entirely clear, but the phrase “concerning David” suggests that it refers to David, rather than Jonathan. |
| (0.25) | (Rut 1:7) | 1 tn Heb “and she went out from the place she had been, and her two daughters-in-law with her, and they went on the way to return to the land of Judah.” |
| (0.25) | (Jdg 12:9) | 1 tn Heb “30 daughters he sent off outside.” Another option is to translate, “He arranged for his 30 daughters….” It is not clear if he had more than the “30 daughters” mentioned in the text. |
