Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Chronicles 8:11:
- Kupsabiny: “Solomon migrated/moved the daughter of Pharaoh to get up from the city of David to go to the house he was building. At that time he said, ‘My wife shall not live in the home that David in/of Israel ruled from, because every place where the Box of the Covenant of God has been staying is holy/feared/honored.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
- Newari: “Solomon brought his queen, the daughter of the king of Egypt into a palace he built for her. Solomon said, "My wife cannot live in the David’s palace because the place [where] the Ark of the Covenant is, is a holy place."” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
- Hiligaynon: “When the palace that Solomon had built for his wife who is the child of the king of Egipto was-finished, he transferred his wife there from the City of David. For he said, ‘My wife should not live in the palace of King David, for this place is holy because the Box of the LORD had-been- there -before.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
- English: “Solomon moved his wife, who was the daughter of the king of Egypt, from the place outside Jerusalem called ‘The City of David’ to the place that his workers had built for her. He said, ‘I do not want my wife to live in the palace that my father King David’s workers built, because the Sacred Chest was in that palace for a while, and any place where the Sacred Chest has been is holy.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
