2:55 Or the founder of Beth-recab. 3:5a As in Syriac
version (see also 14:4; 2 Sam 5:14); Hebrew reads Shimea.
3:5b Hebrew Bathshua, a variant spelling of Bathsheba.
3:6a As in some Hebrew and Greek manuscripts (see also
14:5-7 and 2 Sam 5:15); most Hebrew manuscripts read
Elishama. 3:6b Hebrew Eliphelet; compare parallel text
at 14:5-7. 3:11 Hebrew Joram, a variant spelling of
Jehoram. 3:12 Hebrew Azariah, a variant spelling of
Uzziah. 3:15 Hebrew Shallum, another name for Jehoahaz.
3:16 Hebrew The sons of Jehoiakim were his son Jeconiah
[a variant spelling of Jehoiachin] and his son Zedekiah.
3:17 Hebrew Jeconiah, a variant spelling of Jehoiachin.
4:3 As in Greek version; Hebrew reads father of. The meaning
of the Hebrew is uncertain. 4:4 Or the founder of; also in
4:5, 12, 14, 17, 18, and perhaps other instances where the text
reads the father of. 4:7 As in an alternate reading in the
Masoretic Text (see also Latin Vulgate); the other alternate
and the Greek version read Zohar. 4:9 Jabez sounds like
a Hebrew word meaning “distress” or “pain.” 4:13 As in
some Greek manuscripts and Latin Vulgate; Hebrew lacks
and Meonothai.
