  1. 1 Kings 8:40 tn Heb “fear.”
  2. 1 Kings 8:40 tn Heb “all the days [in] which.”
  3. 1 Kings 8:41 tn Heb “your name.” In the OT the word “name” sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor. The “name” of the Lord sometimes designates the Lord himself, being indistinguishable from the proper name.
  4. 1 Kings 8:42 tn Heb “your great name.” See the note on the word “reputation” in the previous verse.
  5. 1 Kings 8:42 tn Heb “and your strong hand and your outstretched arm.”
