1 Raja-raja 21:1

Ahab Murders Naboth

21:1 After this the following episode took place. ¹²  Naboth the Jezreelite owned a vineyard in Jezreel adjacent to the palace of King Ahab of Samaria. ¹³ 

[4:28]  ¹ tn Heb “barley and straw for the horses and the steeds they brought to the place which was there, each according to his measure.”

[4:34]  ² tn Heb “the wisdom of Solomon.”

[5:17]  ³ tn Heb “and the king commanded.”

[8:40]  ⁴ tn Heb “fear.”

[8:40]  ⁵ tn Heb “all the days [in] which.”

[8:60]  ⁶ tn Heb “so that.”

[8:60]  ⁷ tn Heb “the Lord, he is the God, there is no other.”

[11:26]  ⁸ tn Heb “raised a hand against.”

[11:26]  ⁹ tn Heb “Ephrathite,” which here refers to an Ephraimite (see HALOT 81 s.v. אֶפְרַיִם).

[16:3]  ¹⁰ tn The traditional view understands the verb בָּעַר (ba’ar) to mean “burn.” However, an alternate view takes בָּעַר (ba’ar) as a homonym meaning “sweep away” (HALOT 146 s.v. II בער). In this case one might translate, “I am ready to sweep away Baasha and his family.” Either metaphor emphasizes the thorough and destructive nature of the coming judgment.

[16:3]  ¹¹ tc The Old Greek, Syriac Peshitta, and some mss of the Targum have here “his house.”

[21:1]  ¹² tn Heb “after these things.” The words “the following episode took place” are added for stylistic reasons.

[21:1]  ¹³ sn King Ahab of Samaria. Samaria, as the capital of the northern kingdom, here stands for the nation of Israel.
