2 Raja-raja 1:1

Elijah Confronts the King and His Commanders

1:1 After Ahab died, Moab rebelled against Israel. ¹⁰ 

Yeremia 26:4

26:4 Tell them that the Lord says, ¹¹  ‘You must obey me! You must live according to the way I have instructed you in my laws. ¹² 

[10:31]  ¹ tn Heb “But Jehu was not careful to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart.”

[10:31]  ² tn Heb “He did not turn aside from the sins of Jeroboam which he caused Israel to commit.”

[23:3]  ³ tn Heb “cut,” that is, “made, agreed to.”

[23:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “walk after.”

[23:3]  ⁵ tn Or “soul.”

[23:3]  ⁶ tn Heb “words.”

[23:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “stood in the covenant.”

[23:2]  ⁸ tn Heb “read in their ears.”

[6:16]  ⁹ tn Heb “for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

[1:1]  ¹⁰ sn This statement may fit better with the final paragraph of 1 Kgs 22.

[26:4]  ¹¹ tn Heb “thus says the Lord, ‘…’.” The use of the indirect quotation in the translation eliminates one level of embedded quotation to avoid confusion.

[26:4]  ¹² tn Heb “by walking in my law which I set before you.”

[26:4]  sn Examples of those laws are found in Jer 7:5-6, 9. The law was summarized or epitomized in the ten commandments which are called the “words of the covenant” in Exod 34:28, but it contained much more. However, when Israel is taken to task by God, it often relates to their failure to live up to the standards of the ten commandments (Heb “the ten words”; see Hos 4:1-3; Jer 7:9).
