- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Fecitque rex de lignis thyinis fulcra domus Domini et domus regiæ, et citharas lyrasque cantoribus : non sunt allata hujuscemodi ligna thyina, neque visa usque in præsentem diem.)
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ ἐποίησεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὰ ξύλα τὰ πελεκητὰ ὑποστηρίγματα οἴκου Κυρίου καὶ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ νάβλας καὶ κινύρας τοῖς ᾠδοῖς· οὐκ ἐληλύθει τοιαῦτα ξύλα πελεκητὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, οὐδὲ ὤφθησάν που ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.

Haydock's commentary
Rails. Hebrew mihsad, "pillars, supporters, or banisters." (Haydock)
Most interpreters suppose the rails were on each side of the road, leading from the palace to the temple. (Calmet)
Paralipomenon stairs.
Citterns, or harps and lyres. (Haydock)
Hebrew, "kinnoroth and nebalim."
