1 Kings 8:55

8:55 When he stood up, he pronounced a blessing over the entire assembly of Israel, saying in a loud voice:

1 Kings 17:22

17:22 The Lord answered Elijah’s prayer; the boy’s breath returned to him and he lived.

1 Kings 18:28

18:28 So they yelled louder and, in accordance with their prescribed ritual, ¹  mutilated themselves with swords and spears until their bodies were covered with blood. ² 

1 Kings 18:41

18:41 Then Elijah told Ahab, “Go on up and eat and drink, for the sound of a heavy rainstorm can be heard.” ³ 

1 Kings 19:12

19:12 After the earthquake, there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. After the fire, there was a soft whisper. ⁴ 

1 Kings 1:41

1:41 Now Adonijah and all his guests heard the commotion just as they had finished eating. ⁵  When Joab heard the sound of the trumpet, he asked, “Why is there such a noisy commotion in the city?” ⁶ 

1 Kings 1:40

1:40 All the people followed him up, playing flutes and celebrating so loudly they made the ground shake. ⁷ 

1 Kings 1:45

1:45 Then Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anointed ⁸  him king in Gihon. They went up from there rejoicing, and the city is in an uproar. That is the sound you hear.

1 Kings 18:29

18:29 Throughout the afternoon they were in an ecstatic frenzy, ⁹  but there was no sound, no answer, and no response. ¹⁰ 

1 Kings 19:13

19:13 When Elijah heard it, he covered his face with his robe and went out and stood at the entrance to the cave. All of a sudden ¹¹  a voice asked him, “Why are you here, Elijah?”

1 Kings 20:36

20:36 So the prophet ¹²  said to him, “Because you have disobeyed the Lord, as soon as you leave me a lion will kill you.” When he left him, a lion attacked and killed him.

1 Kings 14:6

14:6 When Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps as she came through the door, he said, “Come on in, wife of Jeroboam! Why are you pretending to be someone else? I have been commissioned to give you bad news. ¹³ 

1 Kings 18:26-27

18:26 So they took a bull, as he had suggested, ¹⁴  and prepared it. They invoked the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, “Baal, answer us.” But there was no sound and no answer. They jumped ¹⁵  around on the altar they had made. ¹⁶  18:27 At noon Elijah mocked them, “Yell louder! After all, he is a god; he may be deep in thought, or perhaps he stepped out for a moment or has taken a trip. Perhaps he is sleeping and needs to be awakened.” ¹⁷ 

1 Kings 20:25

20:25 Muster an army like the one you lost, with the same number of horses and chariots. ¹⁸  Then we will fight them in the plains; we will certainly overpower them.” He approved their plan and did as they advised. ¹⁹ 

[18:28]  ¹ tn Or “as was their custom.”

[18:28]  ² tn Heb “until blood poured out on them.”

[18:41]  ¹ tn Heb “for [there is] the sound of the roar of the rain.”

[19:12]  ¹ tn Heb “a voice, calm, soft.”

[1:41]  ¹ tn Heb “And Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard, now they had finished eating.”

[1:41]  ² tn Heb “Why is the city’s sound noisy?”

[1:40]  ¹ tn Heb “and all the people went up after him, and the people were playing flutes and rejoicing with great joy and the ground split open at the sound of them.” The verb בָּקַע (baqa’, “to split open”), which elsewhere describes the effects of an earthquake, is obviously here an exaggeration for the sake of emphasis.

[1:45]  ¹ tn I.e., designated by anointing with oil.

[18:29]  ¹ tn Heb “when noon passed they prophesied until the offering up of the offering.”

[18:29]  ² tc The Old Greek translation and Syriac Peshitta include the following words here: “When it was time to offer the sacrifice, Elijah the Tishbite spoke to the prophets of the abominations: ‘Stand aside for the time being, and I will offer my burnt offering.’ So they stood aside and departed.”

[19:13]  ¹ tn Heb “look.”

[20:36]  ¹ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the prophet) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:6]  ¹ tn Heb “I am sent to you [with] a hard [message].”

[18:26]  ¹ tn Heb “and they took the bull which he allowed them.”

[18:26]  ² tn Heb “limped” (the same verb is used in v. 21).

[18:26]  ³ tc The MT has “which he made,” but some medieval Hebrew mss and the ancient versions have the plural form of the verb.

[18:27]  ¹ sn Elijah’s sarcastic proposals would have been especially offensive and irritating to Baal’s prophets, for they believed Baal was imprisoned in the underworld as death’s captive during this time of drought. Elijah’s apparent ignorance of their theology is probably designed for dramatic effect; indeed the suggestion that Baal is away on a trip or deep in sleep comes precariously close to the truth as viewed by the prophets.

[20:25]  ¹ tn Heb “And you, you muster an army like the one that fell from you, horse like horse and chariot like chariot.”

[20:25]  ² tn Heb “he listened to their voice and did so.”
