1 Kings 18:19

18:19 Now send out messengers ⁶  and assemble all Israel before me at Mount Carmel, as well as the 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Asherah whom Jezebel supports. ⁷ 

[7:2]  ¹ tn Heb “he built.”

[7:2]  ² sn The Palace of the Lebanon Forest. This name was appropriate because of the large amount of cedar, undoubtedly brought from Lebanon, used in its construction. The cedar pillars in the palace must have given it the appearance of a forest.

[7:2]  ³ tn Heb “one hundred cubits.”

[7:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “fifty cubits.”

[7:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “thirty cubits.”

[18:19]  ⁶ tn The word “messengers” is supplied in the translation both here and in v. 20 for clarification.

[18:19]  ⁷ tn Heb “who eat at the table of Jezebel.”
