9:7 then I will remove Israel from the land ⁶  I have given them, I will abandon this temple I have consecrated with my presence, ⁷  and Israel will be mocked and ridiculed ⁸  among all the nations.

1 Raja-raja 13:18

13:18 The old prophet then said, ⁹  “I too am a prophet like you. An angel told me with the Lord’s authority, ¹⁰  ‘Bring him back with you to your house so he can eat and drink.’” ¹¹  But he was lying to him. ¹² 

[8:20]  ¹ tn Heb “his word that he spoke.”

[8:20]  ² tn Heb “name.”

[8:44]  ³ tn Heb “When your people go out for battle against their enemies in the way which you send them.”

[8:44]  ⁴ tn Or perhaps “to you, O Lord.” See 2 Chr 6:34.

[8:44]  ⁵ tn Heb “your name.” See the note on the word “reputation” in v. 41.

[9:7]  ⁶ tn Heb “I will cut off Israel from upon the surface of the land.”

[9:7]  ⁷ tn Heb “and the temple which I consecrated for my name I will send away from before my face.”

[9:7]  sn Instead of “I will send away,” the parallel text in 2 Chr 7:20 has “I will throw away.” The two verbs sound very similar in Hebrew, so the discrepancy is likely due to an oral transmissional error.

[9:7]  ⁸ tn Heb “will become a proverb and a taunt,” that is, a proverbial example of destruction and an object of reproach.

[13:18]  ⁹ tn Heb “and he said to him.”

[13:18]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “by the word of the Lord.”

[13:18]  ¹¹ tn Heb “eat food and drink water.”

[13:18]  ¹² tn Or “deceiving him.”

[13:18]  sn He was lying to him. The motives and actions of the old prophet are difficult to understand. The old man’s response to the prophet’s death (see vv. 26-32) suggests he did not trick him with malicious intent. The old prophet probably wanted the honor of entertaining such a celebrity, or perhaps simply desired some social interaction with a fellow prophet.
