Solomon Prays for Israel

1 Kings 21:13

1 Kings 20:27

20:27 When the Israelites had mustered and had received their supplies, they marched out to face them in battle. When the Israelites deployed opposite them, they were like two small flocks ⁴  of goats, but the Syrians filled the land.

1 Kings 21:10

21:10 Also seat two villains opposite him and have them testify, ‘You cursed God and the king.’ Then take him out and stone him to death.”

[8:22]  ¹ tn Or “heaven.”

[21:13]  ² tn Heb “led him.”

[21:13]  ³ tn Heb “and they stoned him with stones and he died.”

[20:27]  ³ tn The noun translated “small flocks” occurs only here. The common interpretation derives the word from the verbal root חשׂף, “to strip off; to make bare.” In this case the noun refers to something “stripped off” or “made bare.” HALOT 359 s.v. II חשׂף derives the noun from a proposed homonymic verbal root (which occurs only in Ps 29:9) meaning “cause a premature birth.” In this case the derived noun could refer to goats that are undersized because they are born prematurely.
