Footnotes

  1. 1 Kings 3:28 tn Heb “feared,” perhaps in the sense, “stood in awe of.”
  2. 1 Kings 3:28 tn Heb “saw.”
  3. 1 Kings 3:28 tn Heb “the wisdom of God was in his midst for performing justice.” The phrase “wisdom of God” may be taken as an attributive genitive, “divine wisdom,” or as a genitive of source, “wisdom from God.” Even in English they are basically the same, since wisdom from God is divine in character.
