2 Chronicles 8:1
英文原文
Compare the references to 1 Kings.
2
2 Chronicles 8:2
戶蘭歸還所羅門的城邑——這些城邑，歷代志的作者先前並未提及；不過他似乎假定讀者已知道希蘭曾把這些城邑給了所羅門。見列王紀上9:11-13。
英文原文
The cities which Huram had restored to Solomon - These cities had not been mentioned previously by the writer of Chronicles, who, however, seems to assume that the fact of their having been given by Hiram to Solomon is known to his readers. See 1 Kings 9:11-13.
3
2 Chronicles 8:3
哈馬瑣巴——通常被認定為阿摩司書6:2的「大哈馬」，即敘利亞谷地的首府；但也可能是瑣巴的一座別處未有記載的城，它背叛了所羅門，後被制伏。
英文原文
Hamath-zobah - Usually identified with the "great Hamath" Amos 6:2; the capital of Coele-Syria; but probably a town of Zobah otherwise unknown, which revolted from Solomon, and was reduced to subjection.
5
2 Chronicles 8:5
建築了——應作「重建」或「修築」（如歷代志下8:2）。上下兩座伯和崙都是古城（見約書亞記10:10註釋）。
英文原文
Built - "Rebuilt," or "repaired" (as in 2 Chronicles 8:2). The two Beth-borons were both ancient cities (see Joshua 10:10 note).
10
2 Chronicles 8:10
關於人數，比較列王紀上5:16註釋。
英文原文
On the number compare 1 Kings 5:16 note.
11
2 Chronicles 8:11
屬法老的——歷代志的作者在此再次假定讀者已知邊注所記的事實。
英文原文
Of Pharaoh - Here again the writer of Chronicles assumes in his reader a knowledge of the facts recorded in the marginal references
14
2 Chronicles 8:14
神人——這個在列王紀中十分常見的用語（見列王紀導論第四條註釋），在歷代志中卻很少出現，只應用於摩西（歷代志上23:14）、大衛，以及另一位先知（歷代志下25:7、歷代志下25:9）。
英文原文
The man of God - This phrase, so common in Kings (see the introduction to Kings, 4th note), is rare in Chronicles, and is applied only to Moses 1 Chronicles 23:14, David, and one other prophet 2 Chronicles 25:7, 2 Chronicles 25:9.
18
2 Chronicles 8:18
這些船一直被認為是從推羅被運到以旬迦別的，其路線或是
（1）繞行非洲大陸，或是
（2）橫越蘇伊士地峽。
但作者的意思大概只是：希蘭在這時候、在與俄斐有關的事業上，把船隻給了所羅門。這些船隻可能在約帕交付，猶太的造船工匠在那裏仔細研究之後，前往以旬迦別，在腓尼基人的協助下，按照其樣式建造船隻。
四百五十他連得——列王紀作「四百二十他連得」（列王紀上9:28）。兩個文本之一，必定遭受了數字特別容易發生的那種損毀。
英文原文
It has been supposed that these ships were conveyed from Tyre to Ezion-geber, either
(1) round the continent of Africa, or
(2) across the isthmus of Suez.
But the writer probably only means that ships were given by Hiram to Solomon at this time, and in connection with the Ophir enterprise. These vessels may have been delivered at Joppa, and have been there carefully studied by the Jewish shipwrights, who then preceeded to Ezion-geber, and, assisted by Phoenicians, constructed ships after their pattern.
Four hundred and fifty talents - "Four hundred and twenty talents" in Kings 1 Kings 9:28. One or other of the two texts has suffered from that corruption to which numbers are so especially liable.
