1 Kings 10:12

12 With the timber the king made supports ^{▼▼tn This Hebrew architectural term occurs only here. The meaning is uncertain; some have suggested “banisters” or “parapets”; cf. TEV, NLT “railings.” The parallel passage in 2 Chr 9:11 has a different word, meaning “tracks,” or perhaps “steps.”} for the Lord’s temple and for the royal palace and stringed instruments ^{▼▼tn Two types of stringed instruments are specifically mentioned, the כִּנּוֹר (kinnor, “zither” [?]), and נֶבֶל (nevel, “harp”).} for the musicians. No one has seen so much of this fine timber to this very day. ^{▼▼tn Heb “there has not come thus, the fine timber, and there has not been seen to this day.”})
