1 Kings 3:8

3:8 Your servant stands ¹  among your chosen people; ²  they are a great nation that is too numerous to count or number.

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. ³  If I go tell Ahab I’ve seen you, he won’t be able to find you and he will kill me. ⁴  That would not be fair, ⁵  because your servant has been a loyal follower of ⁶  the Lord from my youth.

[3:8]  ¹ tn There is no verb expressed in the Hebrew text; “stands” is supplied in the translation for clarification.

[3:8]  ² tn Heb “your people whom you have chosen.”

[18:12]  ³ tn Heb “to [a place] which I do not know.”

[18:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “and I will go to inform Ahab and he will not find you and he will kill me.”

[18:12]  ⁵ tn The words “that would not be fair” are added to clarify the logic of Obadiah’s argument.

[18:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “has feared the Lord” (also see the note at 1 Kgs 18:3).
