2 Tawarikh 18:3

18:3 King Ahab of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to attack Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, “I will support you; my army is at your disposal and will support you in battle.” ¹

14:47 After Saul had secured his royal position over Israel, he fought against all their ⁵  enemies on all sides – the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines. In every direction that he turned he was victorious. ⁶

Kisah Para Rasul 11:23-24

11:23 When ⁹  he came and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and encouraged them all to remain true ¹⁰  to the Lord with devoted hearts, ¹¹  11:24 because he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and a significant number of people ¹²  were brought to the Lord.

[18:3]  ¹ tn Heb “Like me, like you; and like your people, my people; and with you in battle.”

[18:5]  ² tn Heb “Should we go against Ramoth Gilead for war or should I refrain?”

[18:5]  ³ 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 (ha’elohim, “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.

[18:9]  ⁴ tn Heb “at,” which in this case probably means “near.”

[14:47]  ⁵ tn Heb “his,” which could refer to Israel or to Saul.

[14:47]  ⁶ tc The translation follows the LXX (“he was delivered”), rather than the MT, which reads, “he acted wickedly.”

[8:3]  ⁷ tn Heb “walk in” (also in v. 5).

[8:3]  ⁸ tn Heb “and they turned aside after unjust gain and took bribes and perverted justice.”

[11:23]  ⁹ tn Grk “Antioch, who when.” The relative pronoun was omitted and a new sentence was begun in the translation at this point to improve the English style, due to the length of the sentence in Greek.

[11:23]  ¹⁰ tn BDAG 883 s.v. προσμένω 1.a.β has “remain true to the Lord” for προσμένειν (prosmenein) in this verse.

[11:23]  sn He…encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord. The call to faithfulness is frequent in Acts (2:40; 14:22; 15:32; 16:39; 20:1-2).

[11:23]  ¹¹ tn Grk “with purpose of heart”; BDAG 869 s.v. πρόθεσις 2.a translates this phrase “purpose of heart, i.e. devotion” here.

[11:24]  ¹² tn Grk “a significant crowd.”
