1 Raja-raja 1:40

1:40 All the people followed him up, playing flutes and celebrating so loudly they made the ground shake. ¹ 

1 Raja-raja 17:11

17:11 As she went to get it, he called out to her, “Please bring me a piece of bread.” ² 

[1:40]  ¹ tn Heb “and all the people went up after him, and the people were playing flutes and rejoicing with great joy and the ground split open at the sound of them.” The verb בָּקַע (baqa’, “to split open”), which elsewhere describes the effects of an earthquake, is obviously here an exaggeration for the sake of emphasis.

[17:11]  ² tn The Hebrew text also includes the phrase “in your hand.”
