1 Raja-raja 13:32

13:32 for the prophecy he announced with the Lord’s authority ³  against the altar in Bethel ⁴  and against all the temples on the high places in the cities of the north ⁵  will certainly be fulfilled.”

[13:24]  ¹ tn Heb “and he went and a lion met him in the road and killed him.”

[13:24]  ² tn Heb “and his corpse fell on the road, and the donkey was standing beside it, and the lion was standing beside the corpse.”

[13:32]  ³ tn Heb “for the word which he cried out by the word of the Lord”

[13:32]  ⁴ map For location see Map4 G4; Map5 C1; Map6 E3; Map7 D1; Map8 G3.

[13:32]  ⁵ tn Heb “Samaria.” The name of Israel’s capital city here stands for the northern kingdom as a whole. Actually Samaria was not built and named until several years after this (see 1 Kgs 16:24), so it is likely that the author of Kings, writing at a later time, is here adapting the old prophet’s original statement.
