18:23 Let them bring us two bulls. Let them choose one of the bulls for themselves, cut it up into pieces, and place it on the wood. But they must not set it on fire. I will do the same to the other bull and place it on the wood. But I will not set it on fire.

1 Kings 11:38

11:38 You must obey ⁵  all I command you to do, follow my instructions, ⁶  do what I approve, ⁷  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; ⁸  I will give you Israel.

1 Kings 20:28

20:28 The prophet ⁹  visited the king of Israel and said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Because the Syrians said, “The Lord is a god of the mountains and not a god of the valleys,” I will hand over to you this entire huge army. ¹⁰  Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”

¹ tn The traditional view understands the verb בָּעַר (ba’ar) to mean “burn.” However, an alternate view takes בָּעַר (ba’ar) as a homonym meaning “sweep away” (HALOT 146 s.v. II בער). In this case one might translate, “I am ready to sweep away Baasha and his family.” Either metaphor emphasizes the thorough and destructive nature of the coming judgment.

² tc The Old Greek, Syriac Peshitta, and some mss of the Targum have here “his house.”

³ tn Heb “house.”

⁴ tn Heb “because of the provocation by which you angered [me], and you caused Israel to sin.”

⁵ 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.

⁶ tn Heb “walk in my ways.”

⁷ tn Heb “do what is right in my eyes.”

⁸ tn Heb “I will build for you a permanent house, like I built for David.”

⁷ tn Heb “the man of God.”

⁸ tn Heb “I will place all this great horde in your hand.”
