1 Kings 2:3

2:3 Do the job the Lord your God has assigned you ¹  by following his instructions ²  and obeying ³  his rules, commandments, regulations, and laws as written in the law of Moses. Then you will succeed in all you do and seek to accomplish, ⁴ 

1 Kings 18:12

18:12 But when I leave you, the Lord’s spirit will carry you away so I can’t find you. ⁵  If I go tell Ahab I’ve seen you, he won’t be able to find you and he will kill me. ⁶  That would not be fair, ⁷  because your servant has been a loyal follower of ⁸  the Lord from my youth.

[2:3]  ¹ tn Heb “keep the charge of the Lord your God.”

[2:3]  ² tn Heb “by walking in his ways.”

[2:3]  ³ tn Or “keeping.”

[2:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “then you will cause to succeed all which you do and all which you turn there.”

[18:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “to [a place] which I do not know.”

[18:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “and I will go to inform Ahab and he will not find you and he will kill me.”

[18:12]  ⁷ tn The words “that would not be fair” are added to clarify the logic of Obadiah’s argument.
