1 Kings 2:32

2:32 May the Lord punish him for the blood he shed; ¹  behind my father David’s back he struck down and murdered with the sword two men who were more innocent and morally upright than he ²  – Abner son of Ner, commander of Israel’s army, and Amasa son of Jether, commander of Judah’s army.

1 Kings 18:26

18:26 So they took a bull, as he had suggested, ³  and prepared it. They invoked the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, “Baal, answer us.” But there was no sound and no answer. They jumped ⁴  around on the altar they had made. ⁵ 

[2:32]  ¹ tn Heb “The Lord will cause his blood to return upon his head.”

[2:32]  ² tn Heb “because he struck down two men more innocent and better than he and he killed them with the sword, and my father David did not know.”

[18:26]  ³ tn Heb “and they took the bull which he allowed them.”

[18:26]  ⁴ tn Heb “limped” (the same verb is used in v. 21).

[18:26]  ⁵ tc The MT has “which he made,” but some medieval Hebrew mss and the ancient versions have the plural form of the verb.
