²tn Heb “nine of the hands.” The word “hand” is used here in the sense or a part or portion.
³tc The translation reads ynlVh-/m (min hasselani, “from the Shelahite”) rather than the MT reading ynlVh-/b (ben hassiloni, “the son of the Shilionite”). See 1 Chr 9:5.
⁴tn Heb “those behind him.” Some scholars emend the text to we’ehayw (“his brothers”).
⁵tn Heb “brothers” (also in vv. 13, 14, 17, 19).
⁶tn Heb “heads of fathers.”
⁷tc The translation reads with the LXX wyjaw (we’ehayw, “and his brothers”) rather than the MT reading <hyjaw (wa’ahehem, “and their brothers”).
⁸tn Heb “who were of the heads.”
⁹tc The translation reads with the Lucianic Greek recension and Vulgate hlhth (hattehilah, “the praise”) rather than the MT reading hLjTh (hattehillah, “the beginning”).
¹⁰tn Heb “the temple attendants.” The pronoun “them” has been substituted in the translation for stylistic reasons.
¹¹tn Heb “the commandment of the king was over them.”
¹²tn Heb “a thing of a day in its day.”
¹³tn Heb “to the hand of the king.”
¹⁴tn Heb “its daughters.” So also in vv. 27, 28, 30, and 31.
¹⁵tc The translation reads with a few medieval Hebrew MSS and the Syriac Peshitta ynBmW (umibbene, “and some of the descendants of”) rather than the MT reading ynbW (ubene, “and the sons of”).
¹⁶tc Heb “from Geba.” It is preferable to delete the preposition “from” read by the MT.

¹⁹tc The translation reads ygw (wege, “and the valley”) rather than the MT reading yG (ge, “the valley”). The original vav probably dropped out accidentally due to haplography with the final vav on the immediately preceding word.
²⁰tn Heb “Ge-harashim,” which could be left untranslated as a place name.
