18:7 The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man through whom we can seek the Lord’s will. ⁶  But I despise ⁷  him because he does not prophesy prosperity for me, but always ⁸  disaster.

¹ tn Heb “a son of a woman from the daughters of Dan, and his father a man of Tyre.”

² tn Heb “and the king, Rehoboam, strengthened himself in Jerusalem and ruled.”

³ tn Heb “Rehoboam.” The recurrence of the proper name here is redundant in terms of contemporary English style, so the pronoun has been used in the translation instead.

⁴ tn Heb “the city where the Lord chose to place his name from all the tribes of Israel.”

⁵ tn Heb “his”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Heb “to seek the Lord from him.”

⁴ tn Or “hate.”

⁵ tn Heb “all his days.”

⁶ tn The words “his name is” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
