1 Kings 11:18

11:18 They went from Midian to Paran; they took some men from Paran and went to Egypt. Pharaoh, king of Egypt, supplied him with a house and food and even assigned him some land. ¹ 

1 Kings 18:26

18:26 So they took a bull, as he had suggested, ²  and prepared it. They invoked the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, “Baal, answer us.” But there was no sound and no answer. They jumped ³  around on the altar they had made. ⁴ 

¹ tn Heb “and they arose from Midian and went to Paran and they took men with them from Paran and went to Egypt to Pharaoh king of Egypt and he gave to him a house and food and he said to him, and a land he gave to him.” Something seems to be accidentally omitted after “and he said to him.”

² tn Heb “and they took the bull which he allowed them.”

³ tn Heb “limped” (the same verb is used in v. 21).

⁴ tc The MT has “which he made,” but some medieval Hebrew mss and the ancient versions have the plural form of the verb.
