1 Raja-raja 4:27

4:27 The district governors acquired supplies for King Solomon and all who ate in his royal palace. ³  Each was responsible for one month in the year; they made sure nothing was lacking.

1 Raja-raja 20:17

20:17 The servants of the district governors led the march. When Ben Hadad sent messengers, they reported back to him, “Men are marching out of Samaria.” ⁴ 

[1:52]  ¹ tn Heb “if he is a man of strength [or ability].” In this context, where Adonijah calls himself a “servant,” implying allegiance to the new king, the phrase אִישׁ חַיִל (’ish khayil) probably carries the sense of “a worthy man,” that is, “loyal” (see HALOT 311 s.v. חַיִל).

[1:52]  ² tn Heb “but if evil is found in him.”

[4:27]  ³ tn Heb “everyone who drew near to the table of King Solomon.”
