1 Raja-raja 8:25

8:25 Now, O Lord, God of Israel, keep the promise you made to your servant, my father David, when you said, ‘You will never fail to have a successor ruling before me on the throne of Israel, ¹  provided that your descendants watch their step and serve me as you have done.’ ² 

1 Raja-raja 8:43

8:43 Then listen from your heavenly dwelling place and answer all the prayers of the foreigners. ³  Then all the nations of the earth will acknowledge your reputation, ⁴  obey ⁵  you like your people Israel do, and recognize that this temple I built belongs to you. ⁶ 

1 Raja-raja 19:11

19:11 The Lord ⁷  said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord. Look, the Lord is ready to pass by.”

A very powerful wind went before the Lord, digging into the mountain and causing landslides, ⁸  but the Lord was not in the wind. After the windstorm there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake.

[8:25]  ¹ tn Heb “there will not be cut off from you a man from before me sitting on the throne of Israel.”

[8:25]  ² tn Heb “guard their way by walking before me as you have walked before me.”

[8:43]  ³ tn Heb “and do all which the foreigner calls to [i.e., “requests of”] you.”

[8:43]  ⁴ tn Heb “your name.” See the note on the word “reputation” in v. 41.

[8:43]  ⁵ tn Heb “fear.”

[8:43]  ⁶ tn Heb “that your name is called over this house which I built.” The Hebrew idiom “to call the name over” indicates ownership. See 2 Sam 12:28.

[19:11]  ⁷ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:11]  ⁸ tn Heb “tearing away the mountains and breaking the cliffs” (or perhaps, “breaking the stones”).
