But the reading of the *Common* [edition] is as follows, as Coislin. places it in the margin, to wit: *upon your high places, O wounded one*; and the same codex adds: [original-script column: see facsimile], to indicate that those [words] which are in the text of the LXX are possessed by Theodotion. One must also know that the Roman edition reads *wounded ones* for *wounded one* in the Coislin and Alexandrian codices. v. 27. A., *desirable*. Reg. Which reading certainly seems suspect, unless Aquila read something else, for example, [original-script column: see facsimile] for [original-script column: see facsimile].

VERSION OF THE HEBREW TEXT 13, 14. And it was when the bearers of the ark of the Lord advanced six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.

Notes and various readings on Chapter VI of the Second Book of Kings.

V. 2. A., Σ., *echonton* (having). Coislin. 2. Other readings are brought forward, *apo ton hiereon* (from the priests), Procopius. Concerning the Reg., however, why the text is what it is, I do not know; for this word signifies *kyrion*, lords, and *echonton* (having), as elsewhere A. and Σ. translate; wherefore the Coislinian reading seems better. Ibid. A., *glossokomon* (chest). Coislin. 2. Thus Aquila is accustomed to translate. Ibid. Reg. V. 3. *epethekan* (they placed). Coislin. 2. V. 5. The same. Ibid. Reg.

V. 6. A., *heos halonos hetoimes* (until the prepared threshing-floor). This interpretation and the following ones, which differ from the version of the LXX, are derived partly from the Royal codex, partly from Eusebius *On Hebrew Places*, which has it thus: *Nachon*, *halonos hetoimes* (threshing-floor prepared). In the edition of A. it has fallen out before *halonos hetoimes*, surely owing to the repetition of the letter A, as is argued by Jerome’s version, which has: *Nachon, area Nachon*: for which Aquila translates: *area praeparata* (threshing-floor prepared).

May the king remember the Lord his God, so that the kinsmen of blood may not be multiplied to take vengeance, and that they may by no means kill my son.

Notes and various readings for chap. XXIV of the 2nd book of Kings.

At the end of the 2nd book of Kings, after these words, *And the Lord heard for the land, and the slaughter was stayed above Israel*, there is this note in the Royal codex: "In the Hexapla and in the more accurate copies, the second book of Kings ends here. But Diodorus joins to this what follows up to the death of David, similarly to Theodoret." That is: In the Hexapla and in the more accurate copies, the second book of the Kingdoms ends here. But Diodorus joins to this what follows, up to the death of David; and similarly Theodoret.

The Coislinian codex 2 explains the note of the Royal codex more fully in these words: "In the Hexapla and in the more accurate copies, the second book of the Kingdoms ends with the narrative concerning the slaughter of the people, and the purchase of the threshing floor of Orna. But the third book of the Kingdoms begins with the history concerning Abisag the Shunammite, and with the matters concerning Adonias, and his tyranny. But Diodorus joins these also to the second book of the Kingdoms, up to the death of David, similarly to Theodoret." The second book of the Kingdoms ends with the narrative about the plague of the people, and the purchase of the threshing floor of Orna. The third book of the Kingdoms begins from the history of Abisag the Shunammite, and of Adonias, and his tyranny. Diodorus, indeed, joins these also to the second book of the Kingdoms, as far as the death of David, and similarly Theodoret.

V. 9. The Coislinian codex exhibits the readings of the three interpreters. Another reading of Symmachus is: *juxta fontem Rogel*. Thus Drusius, the Royal codex, and Theodoret, who also says that the Syrian (version) set down *Aina*. Ibid. "Another," *the one next to* etc. (Royal codex).

V. 35. "Another," *and you shall go up* etc. (Royal codex).

V. 44. "The Seventy," *and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites*. The Royal codex notes: *toûs sphendonētas kaì toùs toxótas*, slingers and archers. So also above, II Kings VIII, 19.

And the word of the Lord was to Solomon saying: This house which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in my decrees, and do my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them, then I will raise up my word with thee, which I spoke to David thy father: and I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel. And Solomon built the house, and finished it.*

11-14. *H.* And the word of the Lord came to Solomon saying: This house, which thou art building, if thou walk in my commands, and do my judgments, and keep all my commandments, walking in them, I will establish my word with thee which I have spoken to David thy father: and I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel.

^A V. 16. Another says: the overseers of the people of those who were working. Drusius, who notes these things regarding the readings of this chapter: The things which I have brought forward from this chapter are found in certain books of the Vulgate edition, and although it is credible that they were copied from some ancient edition, yet we cannot affirm this for certain. Time, I hope, will teach us what we now do not know.

CHAPTER VI OF THE THIRD BOOK OF KINGS

SYMMACHUS: 1. Eightieth. 2. -- 3. Vestibule. 4. Windows and hidden lookouts. 5. Flooring. And of the oracle. 9. -- 10. And he built the flooring.

THEODOTION: 1. -- 2. -- 3. -- 4. Windows with hidden lookouts. 5. -- 9. -- 10. --

[The LXX Interpreters and Latin rendering of the above follow in the synoptic tables:] 1. Eightieth. 2. Forty. Others, sixty. 3. Vestibule. 4. Windows looking out, hidden. 5. Ceilings. And the oracle. 9. He wove also the ceilings. 10. And he built the ligatures over the whole house, five cubits in height.

…in the midst of the children of Israel: and I will not forsake my people Israel. And Solomon built the house and finished it. Others: And the word of the Lord came unto Solomon, saying: This house, which thou art building, if thou walk in my statutes, and do my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; I will establish my word which I spoke unto David thy father. And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel. And Solomon built the house and finished it. Vulgate: And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying: This house, which you are building, if you walk in my precepts, and do my judgments, and keep all my commandments, walking by them; I will establish my word to you, which I spoke to David your father. And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel. Therefore Solomon built the house and finished it.

S.: Forty cubits was the house itself, the innermost temple, and through the cedar [there was] to the innermost house a weaving, a protrusion, and leaves, and carvings, all cedar; no stone was visible. And he prepared the oracle in the midst of the house within, so that the ark of the covenant of the Lord might be placed there. And before the oracle [was] twenty cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in height, and he covered it with pure gold. O.: And forty cubits was the house itself, the innermost temple, and through the cedar to the inner house a weaving, a protrusion, and leaves and...

Notes and various readings on Chapter VI of the 3rd Book of Kings

V. 1. A., Σ., eightieth. It is read thus in Coisl. 1, where this note appears. I. Similarly according to the Hebrew Basemonim. ^B

V. 2. Forty. Others, sixty. Some manuscripts and editions have sixty. The Hebrew text follows [shene kerubim...], for which the LXX Interpreters read forty. Concerning this, Coisl. 2 has this note. In some of the copies it is written with 40, but in the Hexapla and more accurate [copies] with 60; and of the height, some have 25 cubits, but in the Hexapla 30. ^C

V. 5. Σ., porch.

Ibid. Obliquely looking windows. Θ., lattice-work, Σ., floor-layers.

V. 9. A., Σ., and of the treasury. Idem.

V. 10. Readings of Aquila and Symm. are brought forward by Coisl. 2, which has "in cubits" erroneously for "5 cubits" (*). ^D

V. 11-14. Others, and the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying: this house [etc.]. These are omitted in the Roman edition, where all things are turned upside down and are quite confused.

Ibid. After these words, [...], from the LXX, v. 15, to "in cedar sides". [It is noted in the margin] [in Coisl. 2]: It must be known that regarding these specific terms, the following is carried in the Hexapla and in the more accurate copies: "And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying: This house which you are building, if you walk in my statutes, and do my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father. And I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel." However, in some of the copies these things do not exist; to whom I think Theodoret also followed, and did not place these things.

(*) Kreussigius rightly decides, in *Symbol. ad Bielii Thes. phil.* part III, p. 7, that in the reading of Aquila, *anastēma* should be replaced, which also occurs below in the same interpretation, v. 17-20. The form itself [of the word] is from the Egyptian dialect, as we noted at ch. XXIII of book II of Kings. DRACH.

its own; and he covered it with gold fastened on. Others: and Solomon paneled the house inside with closed gold, and brought it forward with gold nails over against the Debir. Carved cherubim, and palm trees, and leaves spread out. And he covered it with gold. And the gold came down upon the cherubim, and upon the palm trees. And thus he made for the gateway of the temple: doorposts of juniper wood. ^A

Notes and various readings on Chapter VI of the Third Book of Kings. Regarding "it appears in the Coislinian codex," it is noted at the word "inside": *in some of the simple copies, as it is written, it lies inside, and in these, and in the [text] leads.* ^B Ibid. And he made from the Debir. The Coislinian [codex] adds: *the wall, v. 20. And the temple was forty cubits.* Thus the text of the Hexapla carries it. But the Roman edition [is] much otherwise. And forty cubits was the temple itself before the doors of the oracle. And the whole house was covered inside with cedar, having its tornaturas and its joints fashioned, and prominent carvings: all were covered with cedar planks; and no stone could appear at all on the wall. But the oracle he had made in the middle of the house, in the inner part, so that he might place there the ark of the covenant of the Lord. Furthermore, the oracle had twenty cubits of length, and twenty cubits of breadth, and twenty cubits of height: and he covered it and clothed it with most pure gold. ^C

v. 15. The Seventy: *up to the house.* The [codices] of the [Seventy]: *up to the beams.* Aquila and Symmachus: *and built.* Theodotion: *and forty cubits was the wall.* (Cf. 2 Kings 27:2). *Glossokomon* [a case or casket]. *For ease, in a cubit of cubits, cedar.*

v. 23. Another: *two cherubim of cypress wood of ten cubits.* Another: *and a doorpost, five-fold.* Thus some printed [editions] and manuscripts. But in the Roman edition these are omitted.

v. 31-33. Another, and the doorposts, etc. Here also the versions of the Seventy are vacant. ^D

But these things, according to Theodoret and certain [other] manuscripts, are set before the construction of the Temple, as is also noted there. I. e. Before these in the Hexapla, with certain other things, this also is held; namely, those matters which pertain to Pharaoh king of Egypt; that he captured Gazer, and burned it, and slew the Canaanite dwelling in the city, and gave it in marriage-dowry to his daughter, the wife of Solomon. These things, however, are placed before the construction of the Temple in Theodoret and certain copies, as is annotated there. [D (implied end of section)]

6. Heb. And it was, when Achiah heard the sound of her feet coming to the door, he said, Enter, wife of Jeroboam: why is it that you feign thyself another, while I am sent to you with hard things? LXX. Hexapl. ^A And it came to pass, as Achiah heard the sound of her feet, as she entered the door, he said, Enter, wife of Jeroboam, why do you feign yourself a stranger?

LXX. Hexapl. And all Israel shall lament him, and shall bury him, because this one alone shall enter for Jeroboam into the tomb, because there was found in him a good word concerning the Lord God of Israel.

And Ano entered in unto the man of God, and Ahijah said unto her: Why hast thou brought unto me loaves, and grapes, and cakes, and a pot of honey? ^B boam: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: For as much as I exalted thee from the midst of the people, and gave thee to be leader over the people of Israel.

In the entering of thy feet into the city the child shall die.

Notes and various readings on Chapter XIV of the Third Book of Kings. This history, which takes up the greatest part of chapter XIV, differs widely in the Roman edition of the LXX from the Hebrew text. The first Greek version, which we place after the Hebrew, the Roman edition has in its notes, and likewise the Alexandrine codex and others. And it was in the Hexapla, as the scholion of the Roman edition indicates at the end of the preceding chapter after the words, where it reads thus: ^C * * * That is to say, afterward in the Hexapla lie those things which concern the sickness and death of Abia, the son of Jeroboam, with asterisks. Indeed the Regius codex has this note: ^D evident that the judgment against the child, as in the Hexapla, and in the more accurate copies, lies after the impiety concerning the calves, and this also in the Coislin codex. 2. That is, it is manifest that the sentence passed against the boy, as it lies in the Hexapla and in the more accurate copies, occurred after the impiety concerning the calves. V. 1 and following. After the Hexaplar version we place that which is carried in the Roman edition. Then another which exists in the Regius codex, of which we have spoken frequently. In the five following verses we subjoin the same Roman version of the LXX to the Hexaplar. But from the sixth verse the Roman so varies that it could not be distributed to the individual verses: but it is cast back hither.

*Notes and various readings to cap. XIV lib. III Regum.* Thus saith the Lord, Behold thou shalt depart from me; and it shall be upon thy entering into the city in Sarira, that thy maids shall come out to meet thee, and shall say: The child is dead. For thus saith the Lord: Behold I will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, against the wall; and they of Jeroboam that die in the city, the dogs shall eat, and them that die in the field, the birds of the air shall eat. And the child shall be lamented. Woe, Lord, because there was found in him a good word concerning the Lord. And the woman departed as she heard. And it came to pass when she entered into Sarira, that the child died; and the cry went out to meet her. *Vulg.* Thus saith the Lord: Behold, the child is dead. For thus saith the lord: Behold I will exterminate from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall; and they that die of Jeroboam in the city, the dogs shall eat: and them that die in the field, the birds of the air shall eat. And the child shall be mourned, Woe, Lord, because there is found in him a good word concerning the Lord. And the woman went as she heard. And it came to pass as she entered into Sarira, and the child was dead: and there went out a cry to meet her.

These indeed lie in the Hexapla before the history of Naboth, differently than in the Septuagint Interpreters, where the order is inverted. The history of the siege of Samaria by the Syrians lay in the Hebrew and in the Hexapla before the history of Naboth, differently than in the Septuagint, where the order is inverted.

Notes and variant readings on ch. 1 of Book IV of Kings. Coislin. 2, Symm., “And he sent messengers and said to them: Go and inquire of Baal-fly, the god of Accaron, if I shall live.” This interpretation of Symmachus is clearer than that which we have given in the text itself, taken, as it seems, from the Coislinian reading.

Notae et variae lectiones ad cap. II lib. IV Regum. In the sense that the Greeks say, *ho deina*. And so, Ruth, wherein certain editions have *aphpho*; we see that Aquila and Symmachus have used a long and diverse interpretation. (*) (*) Interpreters have argued much as to what *aphpho* might be. I wonder that none of them has noticed that the Hebrew word—here omitted due to obscurity by the LXX—is retained, as is not rare elsewhere, and very frequently indeed in these books of Kings, as in almost all the chapters. DRACH.

The Royal edition, with the interpreter left unnamed, whom the Vulgate follows, states this rightly. For the prior reading "I said, O," seems to have been made in error from the word "above" (epanō).

Notes and variant readings to Chapter IV of the Fourth Book of Kings. V. 34. "Another, and his traces," etc. Thus the Regius codex. V. 35. The Regius codex exhibits these readings with these words: "A. [Aquila], breathed into; S. [Symmachus], fell upon." In the Hebrew it is *Eglaad* (correctly *Egaad*) upon him; instead of "he breathed into him." And "he bent himself over him," in the Hebrew it is *enegyosen* over him, instead of "he bent himself" which the others have said. These latter words suffer from corruption. Indeed, the same writer notes *synekopsen* above for the word *synekampsen*. Since you note the word in the same place twice read, namely in verses 34 and 35, and in the text of the Regius codex first "he breathed into" is rendered, and second "he bent himself" is rendered; which therefore in the note are brought forth as far as these words, "and he bent himself," they refer to the first reading; then from these words on, to the second. On these passages Drusius notes: ...Theodoretus, *to agaar* (so read, or certainly *to egaad*), the other interpreters have said "he breathed into."

Notes and variant readings to Chapter IV of the Fourth Book of Kings. The Vulgate, and he bowed himself. Arias, he prostrated himself. The former is read today in the Roman edition. But Theodoret seems to have had *ene-pneusen* (he breathed). For he brings forward, "but *ene-pneusen* upon him," [and] "the others have said *synecalypsen* (he covered)." In another scholion, "but *ene-gyosen* upon him," [and] "the others have said *syne-campsen* (he bent)." Observe, if you please, the Roman edition, from which I have these things. Thus far Drusius. Lastly, the A., S., and [O'] readings in the Coislinian [manuscript] are of this sort: A., *enepneusen*, inspired. S., *epepesen*, prostrated himself. Or in the text, *diekampsen*, bowed down, and in the margin, *synekypsen*, inclined himself. Moreover, such a diversity of interpretations arises either from the various versions of the interpreters or from the scholia of a later age.

"The others, from the corruption," etc. The Regius Codex and Drusius, from Theodoret, who has it thus, "Mesae"; the remaining interpreters turned it as "from the corruption": that is, with all custody, so that no detriment might happen in the house of God. In the Coislin codex, however, it is read thus: "Neither Mesae, nor 'from the difference' (sic) did I find placed in the Hexapla; but in Aquila only, 'in the house of Messae,' in the Hebrew, however, 'ammelech' (sic)." That final term, which is the Hebrew reading, undoubtedly pertains to another matter. V. 8. A. "And he that enters." Coislin 2. Additional reading: "And he that goes into the 'sidiroth'." Theodotio: "To the enclosures." Theodoret: "To the enclosures." Thus in Chronicles he says: "And he that enters into the house shall die," and Josephus...

Notes. V. 5. S., "And they themselves shall repair," etc. Another interpretation of the same exists, namely: "And they themselves shall strengthen the equipment of the house in all that shall be found there needing preparation." You see here two interpretations of Symmachus, taken from his two editions, unless perhaps by the error of a scribe the letter Σ was substituted for A or Θ. Regarding the term "bedek," Drusius notes: "Jerome renders 'well-repaired house' (sarta tecta). Theodoret says: 'Bedek' is called the healing of broken timbers or stones. And the book of Chronicles, instead of 'to do' (bedek), says 'to repair' (to repair the)..."

Hieronymus, in his Commentary on chapter II of Jeremiah, v. 9, has this: "In place of 'conspiracy,' which we have interpreted according to Symmachus, Aquila, the LXX, and Theodotio have translated it, which we may call a 'binding'." Whence Athalia, when she detected that traps were being prepared for her in the Temple, spoke the same word: "conspiracy, conspiracy." However, that reading there, it seems without doubt, is Symmachus's, who translates Isaiah XVIII, 12 in this way. v. 15. Theodotio, "Of the septa." Reg. v. 16. Another, "with the eunuchs." Reg. He who translates thus seems to have read *sarisim* for *susim*, for regarding *pro* [the text], on account of the similarity of the letters, it is not uncommon to have read incorrectly. v. 17. The others, "a treaty." Regius, who has this note: That is, "A testament, where others translate as a covenant." Not always indeed, but very frequently.

THEODOTIO. 5. And they shall take the *bedec* of the house for all that which shall be found there *bedec*.

Note: It means the house of the Lord. Others say "the cracks of the house": others, "the broken parts of the house." In the book of the names of the Hebrews, *bedec* means "restoration." Thus also in the old glossaries, except that in them it is wrongly written *beded*. Furthermore, *badeq* is explained as "I restore, I mend": hence the name. For *badeq* properly signifies a place that is broken and ruined, and therefore to be restored. But R. David thinks otherwise, whom see, if you please, in the book where he collected the meanings of words, which is commonly called the "Book of Roots." For the Hebrews call roots what the Greeks call themes. Indeed, *badeq* means "I search, I inquire, I investigate." Therefore, he says, *bedec* is called such a place because it needs inspection and visitation.

HEXAPLORA REMAINING. CHAPTER XIII OF THE FOURTH BOOK OF KINGS

4, 5. Hebrew: And Joachaz besought the face of the Lord, and the Lord heard him, because He saw the oppression of Israel; because the king of Aram oppressed them. And the Lord gave a savior to Israel, and they went out from under the hand of Aram. Theodoret: How is this to be understood, "and the Lord repented, and He took pity on them because of His covenant with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob"? Coislin. 2, in the margin: These things do not exist in the Hexapla, nor in the Seventy, nor in any other edition; but it is read thus: And Joachaz besought the face of the Lord, and He heard him.

[Note] V. 4, 5. Coislin. 2 brings these forward and teaches that Theodoret read in his copy, after verse 5 of this chapter, those things which are held in verse 25, and that the Hexaplar edition has them as he reports. ^B

Aquila, and he sat in a free house etc. Thus Coislin brings forward the readings of Aquila and Symmachus. In the LXX, for *Aphouso*, Coislin 2 has *Aose*. Thus it is read in Eusebius *On Hebrew Places*: *Aose*.

the Lord, and the Lord heard him, for he saw the affliction of Israel, because the king of Syria afflicted them: and the Lord gave to Israel a savior (Rom. Ed. salvation), and they went out from under the hand of Syria. After the account of the death of Elisha, however, it follows thus: And the Lord had mercy on them, and pitied them, and looked upon them, on account of his covenant with Abraham, etc. Vulg. Now Joachaz besought the face of the Lord, and the Lord heard him: for he saw the distress of Israel, because the king of Syria had crushed them. And he gave a savior to Israel, and he was delivered from the hand of the king of Syria. ^A Note. The Roman edition proceeds in the same order as in the Hexaplar.
