1 Kings 20:7

20:7 The king of Israel summoned all the leaders ¹  of the land and said, “Notice how this man is looking for trouble. ²  Indeed, he demanded my wives, sons, silver, and gold, and I did not resist him.”

Luke 11:54

11:54 plotting against ³  him, to catch ⁴  him in something he might say.

¹ tn Heb “elders.”

² tn Heb “Know and see that this [man] is seeking trouble.”

³ tn Grk “lying in ambush against,” but this is a figurative extension of that meaning.

⁴ tn This term was often used in a hunting context (BDAG 455 s.v. θηρεύω; L&N 27.30). Later examples of this appear in Luke 20.
