1 tn Heb “house.”

2 tn Heb “When your people go out for battle against their enemies in the way which you send them.”

3 tn Or perhaps “to you, O Lord.” See 2 Chr 6:34.

4 tn Heb “your name.” See the note on the word “reputation” in v. 41.

3 tn Heb “he has given a resting place to his people Israel.”

4 tn Heb “not one word from his entire good word he spoke by Moses his servant has fallen.”

4 tn Heb “and the prophet who had brought him back from the road heard.”

5 tn Heb “the man of God.”

6 tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord.”

7 tn Heb “broke him,” or “crushed him.”

8 tn Heb “according to the word of the Lord which he spoke to him.”

6 map For location see Map4-G4; Map5-C1; Map6-E3; Map7-D1; Map8-G3.

7 tn Heb “Samaria.” The name of Israel’s capital city here stands for the northern kingdom as a whole. Actually Samaria was not built and named until several years after this (see 1 Kgs 16:24), so it is likely that the author of Kings, writing at a later time, is here adapting the old prophet’s original statement.

6 tn The elliptical Hebrew text reads literally “and the Lord will strike Israel as a reed sways in the water.”

7 tn Heb “fathers” (also in vv. 22, 31).

8 tn Heb “the River.” In biblical Hebrew this is a typical reference to the Euphrates River. The name “Euphrates” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

9 tn Heb “because they made their Asherah poles that anger the Lord”; or “their images of Asherah”; ASV, NASB “their Asherim”; NCV “they set up idols to worship Asherah.”

7 tn Heb “As for the rest of the acts of Ahab and all that he did, and the house of ivory which he built and all the cities which he built, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?”
