NETBible

They replied,¹ “He was a hairy man² and had a leather belt³ tied around his waist.” The king⁴ said, “He is Elijah the Tishbite.”

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “said to him.”

²tn Heb “an owner of hair.” This idiomatic expression indicates that Elijah was very hairy. For other examples where the idiom “owner of” is used to describe a characteristic of someone, see HALOT 143 s.v. בַּעַל. For example, an “owner of dreams” is one who frequently has dreams (Gen 37:19) and an “owner of anger” is a hot-tempered individual (Prov 22:24).

³tn Heb “belt of skin” (i.e., one made from animal hide).

⁴tn Heb “he”; the referent (the king) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
