1 Kings 22:30

22:30 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and then enter ⁸  into the battle; but you wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and then entered into the battle.

[1:35]  ¹ tn Or “commanded.”

[3:7]  ² tn Heb “and I do not know going out or coming in.”

[8:31]  ³ tn Heb “and forgive the man who sins against his neighbor when one takes up against him a curse to curse him and the curse comes before your altar in this house.” In the Hebrew text the words “and forgive” conclude v. 30, but the accusative sign at the beginning of v. 31 suggests the verb actually goes with what follows in v. 31. The parallel text in 2 Chr 6:22 begins with “and if,” rather than the accusative sign. In this case “forgive” must be taken with what precedes, and v. 31 must be taken as the protasis (“if” clause) of a conditional sentence, with v. 32 being the apodosis (“then” clause) that completes the sentence.

[8:41]  ⁴ tn Heb “your name.” In the OT the word “name” sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor. The “name” of the Lord sometimes designates the Lord himself, being indistinguishable from the proper name.

[8:42]  ⁵ tn Heb “your great name.” See the note on the word “reputation” in the previous verse.

[8:42]  ⁶ tn Heb “and your strong hand and your outstretched arm.”

[15:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “and he built up Ramah so as to not permit going out or coming in to Asa king of Judah.”

[22:30]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew verbal forms could be imperatives (“Disguise yourself and enter”), but this would make no sense in light of the immediately following context. The forms are better interpreted as infinitives absolute functioning as cohortatives. See IBHS 594 §35.5.2a. Some prefer to emend the forms to imperfects.
