[18:5]  1 tn Heb “Should we go against Ramoth Gilead for war or should I refrain?”

[18:5]  2 tn Though Jehoshaphat had requested an oracle from “the Lord” (יְהוָה, yÿhvah, “Yahweh”), the Israelite prophets stop short of actually using this name and substitute the title הָאֱלֹהִים (haelohim, “the God”). This ambiguity may explain in part Jehoshaphat’s hesitancy and caution (vv. 7-8). He seems to doubt that the 400 are genuine prophets of the Lord.

[18:12]  1 tn Heb “the words of the prophets are [with] one mouth good for the king.”

[18:12]  2 tn Heb “let your words be like one of them and speak good.”
