1 Kings 11:37-38

11:37 I will select ¹  you; you will rule over all you desire to have and you will be king over Israel. 11:38 You must obey ²  all I command you to do, follow my instructions, ³  do what I approve, ⁴  and keep my rules and commandments, like my servant David did. Then I will be with you and establish for you a lasting dynasty, as I did for David; ⁵  I will give you Israel.

[11:37]  ¹ tn Heb “take.”

[11:38]  ² tn Heb “If you obey.” In the Hebrew text v. 38 is actually one long conditional sentence, which has been broken into two parts in the translation for stylistic purposes.

[11:38]  ³ tn Heb “walk in my ways.”

[11:38]  ⁴ tn Heb “do what is right in my eyes.”

[11:38]  ⁵ tn Heb “I will build for you a permanent house, like I built for David.”
