Revised Standard Version is a nearly literal rendering of the Hebrew. The sense is clearly expressed in Good News Translation, that is, Solomon’s actions show that he has replaced David as king. However, neither Revised Standard Version nor Good News Translation translates the Hebrew adverb meaning “moreover” at the beginning of this verse. In Hebrew this adverb occurs at the beginning of verses 46, 47, and 48. Bible en français courant reflects the adverb at the beginning of this verse with the words “In addition…” and New American Bible has “Besides….”
