1 Raja-raja 11:33

11:33 I am taking the kingdom from him ¹  because they have ²  abandoned me and worshiped the Sidonian goddess Astarte, the Moabite god Chemosh, and the Ammonite god Milcom. They have not followed my instructions ³  by doing what I approve and obeying my rules and regulations, like Solomon’s father David did. ⁴ 

1 Raja-raja 22:43

22:43 He followed in his father Asa’s footsteps and was careful to do what the Lord approved. ⁵  (22:44) ⁶  However, the high places were not eliminated; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense on the high places.

[11:33]  ¹ tn The words “I am taking the kingdom from him” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[11:33]  ² tc This is the reading of the MT; the LXX, Syriac, and Vulgate read “he has.”

[11:33]  ³ tn Heb “walked in my ways.”

[11:33]  ⁴ tn Heb “by doing what is right in my eyes, my rules and my regulations, like David his father.”

[22:43]  ⁵ tn Heb “he walked in all the way of Asa his father and did not turn from it, doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord.”

[22:43]  ⁶ sn Beginning with 22:43b, the verse numbers through 22:53 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), because 22:43b in the English Bible = 22:44 in the Hebrew text. The remaining verses in the chapter differ by one, with 22:44-53 ET = 22:45-54 HT.
