2 Chronicles 9:1-12
The narrative here is parallel with that in marginal reference, from which it varies but little, and to which it adds nothing.
II Chronicles 9:11
Terraces - Rather, as in the margin, "stairs" (see the I Kings 10:12 note).
II Chronicles 9:12
Beside that which she had brought unto the king - It is difficult to assign any sense to these words as they now stand in the Hebrew text. A slight alteration will give the meaning: "Beside that which the king had brought for her;" which is in conformity with I Kings 10:13.
