20:15 So Ahab ⁶  assembled the 232 servants of the district governors. After that he assembled all the Israelite army, numbering 7,000. ⁷ 

1 Kings 20:17

20:17 The servants of the district governors led the march. When Ben Hadad sent messengers, they reported back to him, “Men are marching out of Samaria.” ⁸ 

[1:5]  ¹ tn Heb “son of Haggith,” but since this formula usually designates the father (who in this case was David), the translation specifies that David was Adonijah’s father.

[1:5]  ² tn Heb “lifting himself up.”

[1:5]  ³ tn Heb “saying.”

[1:5]  ⁴ tn Or “he acquired for himself.”

[1:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “to run ahead of him.”

[20:15]  ⁶ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Ahab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:15]  ⁷ tn Heb “after them he assembled all the people, all the sons of Israel, seven thousand.”
