NET Notes: 1Ki 9:7

¹ tn Heb “I will cut off Israel from upon the surface of the land.”

² tn Heb “and the temple which I consecrated for my name I will send away from before my face.”

sn Instead of “I will send away,” the parallel text in 2 Chr 7:20 has “I will throw away.” The two verbs sound very similar in Hebrew, so the discrepancy is likely due to an oral transmissional error.

³ tn Heb “will become a proverb and a taunt,” that is, a proverbial example of destruction and an object of reproach.
