1 Kings 14:7

14:7 Go, tell Jeroboam, ‘This is what the Lord God of Israel says: “I raised you up ²  from among the people and made you ruler over my people Israel.

[2:17]  ¹ tn Heb “Say to Solomon the king, for he will not turn back your face, that he might give to me Abishag the Shunammite for a wife.”

[14:7]  ² tn The Hebrew text has “because” at the beginning of the sentence. In the Hebrew text vv. 7-11 are one long sentence comprised of a causal clause giving the reason for divine punishment (vv. 7-9) and the main clause announcing the punishment (vv. 10-11). The translation divides this lengthy sentence for stylistic reasons.
