1 Raja-raja 10:13

10:13 King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba everything she requested, besides what he had freely offered her. ¹  Then she left and returned ²  to her homeland with her attendants.

1 Raja-raja 20:7

20:7 The king of Israel summoned all the leaders ⁵  of the land and said, “Notice how this man is looking for trouble. ⁶  Indeed, he demanded my wives, sons, silver, and gold, and I did not resist him.”

1 Raja-raja 20:36

20:36 So the prophet ⁷  said to him, “Because you have disobeyed the Lord, as soon as you leave me a lion will kill you.” When he left him, a lion attacked and killed him.

1 Raja-raja 22:6

22:6 So the king of Israel assembled about four hundred prophets and asked them, “Should I attack Ramoth Gilead or not?” ⁸  They said, “Attack! The sovereign one ⁹  will hand it over to the king.”

[10:13]  ¹ tn Heb “besides what he had given her according to the hand of King Solomon.”

[10:13]  ² tn Heb “turned and went.”

[13:9]  ³ tn Heb “for this he commanded me by the word of the Lord, saying.”

[13:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “eat food and drink water.”

[20:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “elders.”

[20:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “Know and see that this [man] is seeking trouble.”

[20:36]  ⁷ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the prophet) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:6]  ⁸ tn Heb “Should I go against Ramoth Gilead for war or should I refrain?”

[22:6]  ⁹ tn Though Jehoshaphat requested an oracle from “the Lord” (יְהוָה, Yahweh), they stop short of actually using this name and substitute the title אֲדֹנָי (’adonai, “lord; master”). This ambiguity may explain in part Jehoshaphat’s hesitancy and caution (vv. 7-8). He seems to doubt that the four hundred are genuine prophets of the Lord.
