Context — Rehoboam's Family Linegenerated

Cross References
The Key Word — יָלַד, va.Te.ledgenerated
The verb יָלַד (*yalad*) is a Qal imperfect form, indicating an ongoing action in the past — specifically, the act of giving birth. This word encompasses the idea of begetting children, and its usage here emphasizes the role of Mahalath as the mother of Rehoboam's sons.
In the context of this verse, יָלַד highlights the importance of lineage and inheritance in the biblical narrative. It is not merely about the act of giving birth but also signifies the continuation of family lines, which is crucial for the history of the Israelite kings.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the sentence is וַתֵּ֥לֶד, and she bore, which governs the entire clause. The structure includes a prepositional phrase indicating the recipient of the action, followed by a noun phrase that lists the sons born to Rehoboam.
The sentence emphasizes the act of giving birth and the direct relationship to Rehoboam through the use of the object marker אֵת, which precedes the names of the sons, indicating their significance as direct descendants.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates יָלַד as ἔτεκεν (*eteken*), which also means 'to bear' or 'to give birth.' This choice maintains the focus on the act of childbirth, similar to the Hebrew.
The use of the same verb in the Septuagint underscores the continuity of meaning across translations, emphasizing the importance of lineage in both Hebrew and Greek contexts.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states that she bore sons named Jeush, Shemariah, and Zaham. The Septuagint has a partial match with five of the nine words, but it does not provide a complete translation or the same word order, indicating a difference in how the text is rendered. The Samaritan Pentateuch and the Dead Sea Scrolls do not provide additional evidence for this specific verse, so we cannot determine their stance on this passage.
וַתֵּ֥לֶד ל֖וֹ בָּנִ֑ים אֶת־ יְע֥וּשׁ וְאֶת־ שְׁמַרְיָ֖ה וְאֶת־ זָֽהַם׃
5 of the 9 words are matched. This is the word-by-word correspondence, not the Septuagint's own sentence — its word order and its articles are its own.
Four traditions, not one. “On the leather” means the letters physically survive on the scroll, as against letters an editor has supplied to fill a hole in it — a restoration is a scholar’s reading, not a reading of the manuscript. Words in [square brackets] are supplied; the notes count them apart from what survives.
The map of this verse — what each word keeps company with
This is a map of two things, both counted rather than judged. Company kept: which words stand within three words of each of these, anywhere in the Hebrew Bible — the thicker the line, the more often the pair meet compared with chance.

bor: According to the Book of the Covenant (Ex 20:20-23:33) a slave whom his master had purchased was to be released after six years. Should he choose to remain in his master's service a religious ceremony was necessary to ratify his decision. "Then his master shall bring him unto God" (better than "unto the judges" of the King James Version), "and shall bring him to the door, or unto the doorpost; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl" (Ex 21:6). It is highly improbable that "unto God" means "to a sanctuary"; for there was no special reason for performing this ceremony near the door of a sanctuary. On the other hand the entrance to a private house was a sacred spot. According to primitive thinking near the door dwelt the household gods whose function it was to…
