1 Raja-raja 22:52

22:52 He did evil in the sight of ²¹  the Lord and followed in the footsteps ²²  of his father and mother; like Jeroboam son of Nebat, he encouraged Israel to sin. ²³ 

[2:23]  ¹ tn Heb “So may God do to me, and so may he add.”

[2:23]  ² tn Heb “if with his life Adonijah has not spoken this word.”

[3:3]  ³ tn Heb “Solomon loved the Lord by walking in.”

[3:3]  ⁴ tn Or “policies, rules.”

[6:12]  ⁵ tn Heb “walk in.”

[6:12]  ⁶ tn Heb “do.”

[6:12]  ⁷ tn Heb “and keep all my commandments by walking in them.”

[6:12]  ⁸ tn Heb “I will establish my word with you which I spoke to David your father.”

[9:20]  ⁹ tn Heb “all the people who were left from the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not from the sons of Israel.”

[11:18]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “and they arose from Midian and went to Paran and they took men with them from Paran and went to Egypt to Pharaoh king of Egypt and he gave to him a house and food and he said to him, and a land he gave to him.” Something seems to be accidentally omitted after “and he said to him.”

[16:19]  ¹¹ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[16:19]  ¹² tn Heb “walking in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he did to make Israel sin.”

[16:26]  ¹³ tn Heb “walked in all the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat and in his sin which he made Israel sin.”

[16:26]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “angering the Lord God of Israel with their empty things.”

[18:22]  ¹⁵ tn Heb “to the people.”

[21:21]  ¹⁶ tn The introductory formula “the Lord says” is omitted in the Hebrew text, but supplied in the translation for clarification.

[21:21]  ¹⁷ sn Disaster. There is a wordplay in the Hebrew text. The word translated “disaster” (רָעָה, ra’ah) is similar to the word translated “evil” (v. 20, הָרַע, hara’). Ahab’s sins would receive an appropriate punishment.

[21:21]  ¹⁸ tn Heb “I will burn after you.” Some take the verb בָּעַר (ba’ar) to mean here “sweep away.” See the discussion of this verb in the notes at 14:10 and 16:3.

[21:21]  ¹⁹ tn Heb “and I will cut off from Ahab those who urinate against a wall, [including both those who are] restrained and let free [or “abandoned”] in Israel.” The precise meaning of the idiomatic phrase עָצוּר וְעָזוּב (’atsur vÿ’azuv, translated here “weak and incapacitated”) is uncertain. For various options see HALOT 871 s.v. עצר and M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 107. The two terms are usually taken as polar opposites (“slaves and freemen” or “minors and adults”), but Cogan and Tadmor, on the basis of contextual considerations (note the usage with אֶפֶס (’efes), “nothing but”) in Deut 32:36 and 2 Kgs 14:26, argue convincingly that the terms are synonyms, meaning “restrained and abandoned,” and refer to incapable or incapacitated individuals.

[22:39]  ²⁰ tn Heb “As for the rest of the acts of Ahab and all that he did, and the house of ivory which he built and all the cities which he built, are they not written on the scroll of the events of the days of the kings of Israel?”

[22:52]  ²¹ tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[22:52]  ²² tn Or “way.”

[22:52]  ²³ tn Heb “and walked in the way of his father and in the way of his mother and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat who made Israel sin.”
