A Prophet Denounces Ahab’s Actions

20:35 One of the members of the prophetic guild, speaking with divine authority, ordered his companion, “Wound me!” ⁶  But the man refused to wound him.

¹ tn Heb “everyone who drew near to the table of King Solomon.”

² tn Heb “he made the pillars, and two rows surrounding one latticework to cover the capitals which were on top of the pomegranates, and so he did for the second latticework.” The translation supplies “pomegranates” after “two rows,” and understands “pillars,” rather than “pomegranates,” to be the correct reading after “on top of.” The latter change finds support from many Hebrew mss and the ancient Greek version.

³ tn Heb “raised a hand against.”

⁴ tn Heb “Ephrathite,” which here refers to an Ephraimite (see HALOT 81 s.v. אֶפְרַיִם).

⁴ tn Heb “and he built up Ramah so as to not permit going out or coming in to Asa king of Judah.”

⁵ tn Heb “Now a man from the sons of the prophets said to his companion by the word of the Lord, ‘Wound me.’”
