1 Kings 12:19

12:19 So Israel has been in rebellion against the Davidic dynasty to this very day.

1 Kings 12:26

12:26 Jeroboam then thought to himself: ¹  “Now the Davidic dynasty could regain the kingdom. ² 

1 Kings 15:11

15:11 Asa did what the Lord approved ³  like his ancestor ⁴  David had done.

[12:26]  ¹ tn Heb “said in his heart.”

[12:26]  ² tn Heb “Now the kingdom could return to the house of David.” The imperfect verbal form translated “could return” is understood as having a potential force here. Perhaps this is not strong enough; another option is “will return.”

[15:11]  ¹ tn Heb “what was right in the eyes of the Lord.”

[15:11]  ² tn Heb “father,” but Hebrew often uses the terms “father” and “mother” for grandparents and more remote ancestors.
