1 Kings 10:21

1 Kings 21:29

21:29 “Have you noticed how Ahab shows remorse ³  before me? Because he shows remorse before me, I will not bring disaster on his dynasty during his lifetime, but during the reign of his son.” ⁴ 

¹ tn Heb “and the rest of the male cultic prostitutes who were left in the days of Asa his father, he burned from the land.” Some understand the verb בִּעֵר (bi’er) to mean “sweep away” here rather than “burn.” See the note at 1 Kgs 14:10.

² tn Heb “there was no silver, it was not regarded as anything in the days of Solomon.”

³ tn Or “humbles himself.” The expression occurs a second time later in this verse.

⁴ tn Heb “I will not bring the disaster during his days, [but] in the days of his son I will bring the disaster on his house.”
