1 tn The Hebrew term translated “Lord” here and in v.15 is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).
2 tn Heb “And the thing was good in the eyes of the Lord, for Solomon asked for this thing.”
3 tn Heb “and look, a dream.”
4 tn Or “tokens of peace”; NIV, TEV “fellowship offerings.”
5 tn Or “For.”
6 tn Heb “your inheritance.”
7 tn Heb “Should I go against Ramoth Gilead for war or should I refrain?”
8 tn Though Jehoshaphat requested an oracle from “the Lord” (יְהוָה, Yahweh), they stop short of actually using this name and substitute the title אֲדֹנָי (’adonai, “lord; master”). This ambiguity may explain in part Jehoshaphat’s hesitancy and caution (vv. 7-8). He seems to doubt that the four hundred are genuine prophets of the Lord.
9 tn Or “field.”
10 tn Heb “you are a man of death.”
11 tn Heb “and because you suffered through all which my father suffered.”
