1 Kings 2:26

2:26 The king then told Abiathar the priest, “Go back to your property ⁹  in Anathoth. You deserve to die, ¹⁰  but today I will not kill you because you did carry the ark of the sovereign Lord before my father David and you suffered with my father through all his difficult times.” ¹¹ 

[3:10]  ¹ tn The Hebrew term translated “Lord” here and in v.15 is אֲדֹנָי (’adonay).

[3:10]  ² tn Heb “And the thing was good in the eyes of the Lord, for Solomon asked for this thing.”

[3:15]  ³ tn Heb “and look, a dream.”

[3:15]  ⁴ tn Or “tokens of peace”; NIV, TEV “fellowship offerings.”

[8:53]  ⁵ tn Or “For.”

[8:53]  ⁶ tn Heb “your inheritance.”

[22:6]  ⁷ tn Heb “Should I go against Ramoth Gilead for war or should I refrain?”

[22:6]  ⁸ 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.

[2:26]  ⁹ tn Or “field.”

[2:26]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “you are a man of death.”

[2:26]  ¹¹ tn Heb “and because you suffered through all which my father suffered.”
