David’s Final Words to Solomon

2:1 When David was close to death, ⁴  he told ⁵  Solomon his son:

Revelation 19:20

19:20 Now ⁶  the beast was seized, and along with him the false prophet who had performed the signs on his behalf ⁷  – signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image. Both of them were thrown alive into the lake of fire burning with sulfur. ⁸ 

[22:6]  ¹ tn Heb “Should I go against Ramoth Gilead for war or should I refrain?”

[22:6]  ² tn Though Jehoshaphat requested an oracle from “the Lord” (יְהוָה, Yahweh), they stop short of actually using this name and substitute the title אֲדֹנָי (’adonai, “lord; master”). This ambiguity may explain in part Jehoshaphat’s hesitancy and caution (vv. 7-8). He seems to doubt that the four hundred are genuine prophets of the Lord.

[22:2]  ³ tn The word “visit” is supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[2:1]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the days of David approached to die.”

[19:20]  ⁶ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the introduction of an unexpected development in the account: The opposing armies do not come together in battle; rather the leader of one side is captured.

[19:20]  ⁷ tn For this meaning see BDAG 342 s.v. ἐνώπιον 4.b, “by the authority of, on behalf of Rv 13:12, 14; 19:20.”

[19:20]  ⁸ tn Traditionally, “brimstone.”
