1 Raja-raja 17:18

17:18 She asked Elijah, “Why, prophet, have you come ⁴  to me to confront me with ⁵  my sin and kill my son?”

[1:52]  ¹ tn Heb “if he is a man of strength [or ability].” In this context, where Adonijah calls himself a “servant,” implying allegiance to the new king, the phrase אִישׁ חַיִל (’ish khayil) probably carries the sense of “a worthy man,” that is, “loyal” (see HALOT 311 s.v. חַיִל).

[1:52]  ² tn Heb “but if evil is found in him.”

[11:15]  ³ tn Heb “when David was [fighting (?)] with Edom.”

[17:18]  ⁴ tn Heb “What to me and to you, man of God, that you have come.”

[17:18]  ⁵ tn Heb “to make me remember.”
