3:21 I got up in the morning to nurse my son, and there he was, ¹  dead! But when I examined him carefully in the morning, I realized it was not my baby.” ² 

1 Raja-raja 8:31

8:31 “When someone is accused of sinning against his neighbor and the latter pronounces a curse on the alleged offender before your altar in this temple, be willing to forgive the accused if the accusation is false. ³ 

1 Raja-raja 13:28

13:28 He went and found the corpse lying in the road with the donkey and the lion standing beside it; ⁴  the lion had neither eaten the corpse nor attacked the donkey.

1 Raja-raja 22:20

22:20 The Lord said, ‘Who will deceive Ahab, so he will attack Ramoth Gilead and die ⁵  there?’ One said this and another that.

[3:21]  ¹ tn Heb “look.”

[3:21]  ² tn Heb “look, it was not my son to whom I had given birth.”

[8:31]  ³ tn Heb “and forgive the man who sins against his neighbor when one takes up against him a curse to curse him and the curse comes before your altar in this house.” In the Hebrew text the words “and forgive” conclude v. 30, but the accusative sign at the beginning of v. 31 suggests the verb actually goes with what follows in v. 31. The parallel text in 2 Chr 6:22 begins with “and if,” rather than the accusative sign. In this case “forgive” must be taken with what precedes, and v. 31 must be taken as the protasis (“if” clause) of a conditional sentence, with v. 32 being the apodosis (“then” clause) that completes the sentence.

[8:31]  sn Be willing to forgive the accused if the accusation is false. At first it appears that Solomon is asking God to forgive the guilty party. But in v. 32 Solomon asks the Lord to discern who is guilty and innocent, so v. 31 must refer to a situation where an accusation has been made, but not yet proven. The very periphrastic translation reflects this interpretation.

[13:28]  ⁴ tn Heb “the corpse.” The noun has been replaced by the pronoun (“it”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[22:20]  ⁵ tn Heb “and fall.”
