¹ tn Heb “if he is a man of strength [or ability].” In this context, where Adonijah calls himself a “servant,” implying allegiance to the new king, the phrase אִישׁ חַיִל (’ish khayil) probably carries the sense of “a worthy man,” that is, “loyal” (see HALOT 311 s.v. חַיִל).

² tn Heb “but if evil is found in him.”

³ tn Heb “look, Elijah [came] to meet him.”

⁵ tn The words “from the sky” are added for stylistic reasons.

⁷ tn Heb “the God” (the phrase occurs twice in this verse).

⁹ tn Heb “and fall.”
