1 Kings 11:6

11:6 Solomon did evil in the Lord’s sight; ¹  he did not remain loyal to ²  the Lord, like his father David had.

1 Kings 11:38

11:38 You must obey ³  all I command you to do, follow my instructions, ⁴  do what I approve, ⁵  and keep my rules and commandments, like my servant David did. Then I will be with you and establish for you a lasting dynasty, as I did for David; ⁶  I will give you Israel.

¹ tn Heb “in the eyes of the Lord.”

² tn The idiomatic statement reads in Hebrew, “he did not fill up after.”

³ tn Heb “If you obey.” In the Hebrew text v. 38 is actually one long conditional sentence, which has been broken into two parts in the translation for stylistic purposes.

⁴ tn Heb “walk in my ways.”

⁵ tn Heb “do what is right in my eyes.”

⁶ tn Heb “I will build for you a permanent house, like I built for David.”
