Note 1 topic: translate-names

וַ⁠יָּמָת֮ בַּ֣עַל חָנָ֣ן בֶּן־עַכְבּוֹר֒ וַ⁠יִּמְלֹ֤ךְ & הֲדַ֔ר

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_died Baˊal- -hanan son_of ˊAkbōr and,he_reigned in,place_of_him Hadar and=name_of his_city_of,his Pāˊū and=name_of his/its=wife/woman Məhēyţaⱱ^ʼēl daughter_of Maţrēd daughter_of Mēy- -zahab )

Most translations follow the Hebrew text and have Hadar here. Some translations (and ancient versions such as SP, LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate) have “Hadad” here instead, in order to spell this name the same way it is spelled in 1 Chronicles 1:50-51. However, that could cause confusion, because “Hadad” is also the name of a different king in verses 35–36 above.

וַ⁠יִּמְלֹ֤ךְ תַּחְתָּי⁠ו֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_died Baˊal- -hanan son_of ˊAkbōr and,he_reigned in,place_of_him Hadar and=name_of his_city_of,his Pāˊū and=name_of his/its=wife/woman Məhēyţaⱱ^ʼēl daughter_of Maţrēd daughter_of Mēy- -zahab )

Consider again how you translated this phrase in verses 33–39. Alternate translation: [took his place as king] or [succeeded him as king]
