1 Raja-raja 3:26

3:26 The real mother ²  spoke up to the king, for her motherly instincts were aroused. ³  She said, “My master, give her the living child! Whatever you do, don’t kill him!” ⁴  But the other woman said, “Neither one of us will have him! Let them cut him in two!”

Yesaya 54:8

54:8 In a burst ⁵  of anger I rejected you ⁶  momentarily,

but with lasting devotion I will have compassion on you,”

says your protector, ⁷  the Lord.

¹ tn The translation understands the verb in the sense of “be grieved, relent” (cf. HALOT 689 s.v. נחם hitp 2); cf. KJV, ASV “repent himself”; NLT “will change his mind.” Another option is to translate “will show compassion to” (see BDB 637 s.v. נחם); cf. NASB, NIV, NRSV.

² tn Heb “the woman whose son was alive.”

³ tn Heb “for her compassions grew warm for her son.”

⁴ tn The infinitive absolute before the negated jussive emphasizes the main verb.

⁵ tn According to BDB 1009 s.v. שֶׁטֶף the noun שֶׁצֶף here is an alternate form of שֶׁטֶף (shetef, “flood”). Some relate the word to an alleged Akkadian cognate meaning “strength.”

⁶ tn Heb “I hid my face from you.”

⁷ tn Or “redeemer.” See the note at 41:14.
