1 Raja-raja 1:9

1:9 Adonijah sacrificed sheep, cattle, and fattened steers at the Stone of Zoheleth near En Rogel. He invited all his brothers, the king’s sons, ¹  as well as all the men of Judah, the king’s servants.

1 Raja-raja 8:58-59

8:58 May he make us submissive, ²  so we can follow all his instructions ³  and obey ⁴  the commandments, rules, and regulations he commanded our ancestors. 8:59 May the Lord our God be constantly aware of these requests of mine I have presented to him, ⁵  so that he might vindicate ⁶  his servant and his people Israel as the need arises.

1 Raja-raja 9:7

9:7 then I will remove Israel from the land ⁷  I have given them, I will abandon this temple I have consecrated with my presence, ⁸  and Israel will be mocked and ridiculed ⁹  among all the nations.

1 Raja-raja 11:11

11:11 So the Lord said to Solomon, “Because you insist on doing these things and have not kept the covenantal rules I gave you, ¹⁰  I will surely tear the kingdom away from you and give it to your servant.

[1:9]  ¹ tc The ancient Greek version omits this appositional phrase.

[8:58]  ² tn Heb “to bend our hearts toward him.” The infinitive is subordinate to the initial prayer, “may the Lord our God be with us.” The Hebrew term לֵבָב (levav, “heart”) here refers to the people’s volition and will.

[8:58]  ³ tn Heb “to walk in all his ways.”

[8:58]  ⁴ tn Heb “keep.”

[8:59]  ⁵ tn Heb “May these words of mine, which I have requested before the Lord, be near the Lord our God day and night.”

[8:59]  ⁶ tn Heb “accomplish the justice of.”

[9:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “I will cut off Israel from upon the surface of the land.”

[9:7]  ⁸ tn Heb “and the temple which I consecrated for my name I will send away from before my face.”

[9:7]  sn Instead of “I will send away,” the parallel text in 2 Chr 7:20 has “I will throw away.” The two verbs sound very similar in Hebrew, so the discrepancy is likely due to an oral transmissional error.

[9:7]  ⁹ tn Heb “will become a proverb and a taunt,” that is, a proverbial example of destruction and an object of reproach.

[11:11]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “Because this is with you, and you have not kept my covenant and my rules which I commanded you.”
