1 Raja-raja 21:11

21:11 The men of the ⁵  city, the leaders ⁶  and the nobles who lived there, ⁷  followed the written orders Jezebel had sent them. ⁸ 

[6:16]  ¹ tn Heb “He built twenty cubits from the rear areas of the temple with cedar planks from the floor to the walls, and he built it on the inside for an inner sanctuary, for a holy place of holy places.”

[6:16]  ² tc The MT has קְלָעִים (qÿla’im, “curtains”), but this should be emended to קוֹרוֹת (qorot, “rafters”). See BDB 900 s.v. קוֹרָה.

[7:7]  ³ tn Heb “and a porch for the throne, where he was making judicial decisions, the Porch of Judgment, he made.”

[7:7]  ⁴ tc The Hebrew text reads, “from the floor to the floor.” The second occurrence of the term הַקַּרְקָע (haqqarqa’, “the floor”) is probably an error; one should emend to הַקּוֹרוֹת (haqqorot, “the rafters”). See 6:16.

[21:11]  ⁵ tn Heb “his.”

[21:11]  ⁶ tn Heb “elders.”

[21:11]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the nobles who were living in his city.”

[21:11]  ⁸ tn Heb “did as Jezebel sent to them, just as was written in the scrolls which she sent to them.”
