- 2 Chronicles 8:3 See 1 Ki 9:11f. Zobah was an Aramean kingdom north of Damascus. “He went,” like “he built,” etc., means he had it done.
- 2 Chronicles 8:4 Tadmor: the Semitic name, still in use, for Palmyra, an oasis which is mentioned in an Assyrian inscription dating from a century before Solomon and which became famous in the third century A.D. In fact, however, the reference is clearly to Tamar, on the southern shore of the Dead Sea; see the parallel in 1 Ki 9:18.
