1 Raja-raja 1:12

1:12 Now ¹  let me give you some advice as to how ²  you can save your life and your son Solomon’s life.

Amsal 24:6

24:6 for with guidance you wage your war,

and with numerous advisers there is victory. ³ 

[1:12]  ¹ tn Heb “now, come.” The imperative of הָלַךְ (halakh) is here used as an introductory interjection. See BDB 234 s.v. חָלַךְ.

[1:12]  ² tn Or “so that.”

[24:6]  ³ sn The point of the saying is that wise counsel is necessary in war. Victory, strategy, and counsel are more important than mere military strength – many great armies have been destroyed because of their unwise leaders. See on this theme 11:14; 20:18; and 21:22.
