1 Raja-raja 14:5

1 Raja-raja 18:23

18:23 Let them bring us two bulls. Let them choose one of the bulls for themselves, cut it up into pieces, and place it on the wood. But they must not set it on fire. I will do the same to the other bull and place it on the wood. But I will not set it on fire.

1 Raja-raja 19:4

19:4 while he went a day’s journey into the desert. He went and sat down under a shrub ⁴  and asked the Lord to take his life: ⁵  “I’ve had enough! Now, O Lord, take my life. After all, I’m no better than my ancestors.” ⁶ 

1 Raja-raja 21:4

[2:19]  ¹ tn Or “meet.”

[2:19]  ² tn Heb “he set up a throne for the mother of the king.”

[14:5]  ³ sn Tell her so-and-so. Certainly the Lord gave Ahijah a specific message to give to Jeroboam’s wife (see vv. 6-16), but the author of Kings here condenses the Lord’s message with the words “so-and-so.” For dramatic effect he prefers to have us hear the message from Ahijah’s lips as he speaks to the king’s wife.

[19:4]  ⁴ tn Or “broom tree” (also in v. 5).

[19:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “and asked with respect to his life to die.”

[19:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “fathers.”

[21:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “on account of the word that Naboth the Jezreelite spoke to him.”

[21:4]  ⁸ tn Heb “I will not give to you the inheritance of my fathers.”

[21:4]  ⁹ tn Heb “turned away his face.”
