1 Kings 20:37

1 Kings 22:5

22:5 Then Jehoshaphat added, ⁵  “First seek an oracle from the Lord.” ⁶ 

[8:41]  ¹ tn Heb “your name.” In the OT the word “name” sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor. The “name” of the Lord sometimes designates the Lord himself, being indistinguishable from the proper name.

[8:49]  ² tn Heb “their prayer and their request for help.”

[8:49]  ³ tn Heb “and accomplish their justice.”

[20:37]  ³ tn Heb “and the man wounded him, wounding and bruising.”

[22:5]  ⁴ tn Heb “and Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel.”

[22:5]  ⁵ tn Heb “the word of the Lord.” Jehoshaphat is requesting a prophetic oracle revealing the Lord’s will in the matter and their prospects for success. For examples of such oracles, see 2 Sam 5:19, 23-24.
