1 Kings 8:27

8:27 “God does not really live on the earth! 1  Look, if the sky and the highest heaven cannot contain you, how much less this temple I have built!

1 Kings 20:20

20:20 Each one struck down an enemy soldier; 2  the Syrians fled and Israel chased them. King Ben Hadad of Syria escaped on horseback with some horsemen.

1 tn Heb “Indeed, can God really live on the earth?” The rhetorical question expects the answer, “Of course not,” the force of which the translation above seeks to reflect.

2 tn Heb “each struck down his man.”
