NETBible

NET Notes

¹sn Your servant. By referring to Ben Hadad as Ahab’s servant, they are suggesting that Ahab make him a subject in a vassal treaty arrangement.

²tn Heb “he”; the referent (Ahab) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³sn He is my brother. Ahab’s response indicates that he wants to make a parity treaty and treat Ben Hadad as an equal partner.
