1 Raja-raja 4:33

4:33 He produced manuals on botany, describing every kind of plant, ¹  from the cedars of Lebanon to the hyssop that grows on walls. He also produced manuals on biology, describing ²  animals, birds, insects, and fish.

1 Raja-raja 11:24

11:24 He gathered some men and organized a raiding band. ³  When David tried to kill them, ⁴  they went to Damascus, where they settled down and gained control of the city.

1 Raja-raja 18:43

18:43 He told his servant, “Go on up and look in the direction of the sea.” So he went on up, looked, and reported, “There is nothing.” ⁵  Seven times Elijah sent him to look. ⁶ 

[4:33]  ¹ tn Heb “he spoke about plants.”

[4:33]  ² tn Heb “he spoke about.”

[11:24]  ³ tn Heb “and he was the officer of a raiding band.”

[11:24]  ⁴ tn The Hebrew text reads “when David killed them.” This phrase is traditionally joined with what precedes. The ancient Greek version does not reflect the phrase and some suggest that it has been misplaced from the end of v. 23.

[18:43]  ⁵ sn So he went on up, looked, and reported, “There is nothing.” Several times in this chapter those addressed by Elijah obey his orders. In vv. 20 and 42 Ahab does as instructed, in vv. 26 and 28 the prophets follow Elijah’s advice, and in vv. 30, 34, 40 and 43 the people and servants do as they are told. By juxtaposing Elijah’s commands with accounts of those commands being obeyed, the narrator emphasizes the authority of the Lord’s prophet.

[18:43]  ⁶ tn Heb “He said, ‘Return,’ seven times.”
