1 Raja-raja 13:29

13:29 The old prophet ⁴  picked up the corpse of the prophet, ⁵  put it on the donkey, and brought it back. The old prophet then entered the city to mourn him and to bury him.

[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.”

[7:35]  ³ tn Heb “and on top of the stand, a half cubit [in] height, round all around” (the meaning of this description is uncertain).

[13:29]  ⁴ tn Heb “the prophet.” The word “old” has been supplied in the translation to distinguish this individual from the other prophet.

[13:29]  ⁵ tn Heb “the man of God.”
