1 Kings 5:9

5:9 My servants will bring the timber down from Lebanon to the sea. I will send it by sea in raft-like bundles to the place you designate. ¹  There I will separate the logs ²  and you can carry them away. In exchange you will supply the food I need for my royal court.” ³ 

1 Kings 8:35

8:35 “The time will come when ⁴  the skies are shut up tightly and no rain falls because your people ⁵  sinned against you. When they direct their prayers toward this place, renew their allegiance to you, ⁶  and turn away from their sin because you punish ⁷  them,

1 Kings 13:8

13:8 But the prophet said to the king, “Even if you were to give me half your possessions, ⁸  I could not go with you and eat and drink ⁹  in this place.

1 Kings 13:22

13:22 You went back and ate and drank in this place, even though he said to you, “Do not eat or drink there.” ¹⁰  Therefore ¹¹  your corpse will not be buried in your ancestral tomb.’” ¹² 

1 Kings 21:19

21:19 Say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: “Haven’t you committed murder and taken possession of the property of the deceased?”’ Then say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: “In the spot where dogs licked up Naboth’s blood they will also lick up your blood – yes, yours!”’”

[5:9]  ¹ tn Heb “I will place them [on? as?] rafts in the sea to the place where you designate to me.” This may mean he would send them by raft, or that he would tie them in raft-like bundles, and have ships tow them down to an Israelite port.

[5:9]  ² tn Heb “smash them,” i.e., untie the bundles.

[5:9]  ³ tn Heb “as for you, you will satisfy my desire by giving food for my house.”

[8:35]  ⁴ tn Heb “when.” In the Hebrew text vv. 35-36a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided into two sentences for stylistic reasons.

[8:35]  ⁵ tn Heb “they”; the referent (your people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:35]  ⁶ tn Heb “confess [or perhaps, “praise”] your name.”

[8:35]  ⁷ tn The Hebrew text has “because you answer them,” as if the verb is from עָנָה (’anah, “to answer”). However, this reference to a divine answer is premature, since the next verse asks for God to intervene in mercy. It is better to revocalize the consonantal text as תְעַנֵּם (tÿ’annem, “you afflict them”), a Piel verb form from the homonym עָנָה (“to afflict”).

[13:8]  ⁷ tn Heb “house.”

[13:8]  ⁸ tn Heb “eat food and drink water.”

[13:22]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and you returned and ate food and drank water in the place about which he said to you, ‘do not eat food and do not drink water.’”

[13:22]  ¹¹ tn “Therefore” is added for stylistic reasons. See the note at 1 Kgs 13:21 pertaining to the grammatical structure of vv. 21-22.

[13:22]  ¹² tn Heb “will not go to the tomb of your fathers.”
