1 Raja-raja 2:43

2:43 Why then have you broken the oath you made before the Lord and disobeyed the order I gave you?” ¹ 

1 Raja-raja 8:35

8:35 “The time will come when ²  the skies are shut up tightly and no rain falls because your people ³  sinned against you. When they direct their prayers toward this place, renew their allegiance to you, ⁴  and turn away from their sin because you punish ⁵  them,

[2:43]  ¹ tn Heb “Why have you not kept the oath [to] the Lord and the commandment I commanded you?”

[8:35]  ² tn Heb “when.” In the Hebrew text vv. 35-36a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided into two sentences for stylistic reasons.

[8:35]  ³ tn Heb “they”; the referent (your people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:35]  ⁴ tn Heb “confess [or perhaps, “praise”] your name.”

[8:35]  ⁵ tn The Hebrew text has “because you answer them,” as if the verb is from עָנָה (’anah, “to answer”). However, this reference to a divine answer is premature, since the next verse asks for God to intervene in mercy. It is better to revocalize the consonantal text as תְעַנֵּם (tÿ’annem, “you afflict them”), a Piel verb form from the homonym עָנָה (“to afflict”).
