1 Raja-raja 3:6
Konteks3:6 Solomon replied, “You demonstrated 1 great loyalty to your servant, my father David, as he served 2 you faithfully, properly, and sincerely. 3 You have maintained this great loyalty to this day by allowing his son to sit on his throne. 4
1 Raja-raja 11:38
Konteks11:38 You must obey 5 all I command you to do, follow my instructions, 6 do what I approve, 7 and keep my rules and commandments, like my servant David did. Then I will be with you and establish for you a lasting dynasty, as I did for David; 8 I will give you Israel.
1 Raja-raja 20:39
Konteks20:39 When the king passed by, he called out to the king, “Your servant went out into the heat 9 of the battle, and then a man turned aside and brought me a prisoner. 10 He told me, ‘Guard this prisoner. If he ends up missing for any reason, 11 you will pay with your life or with a talent 12 of silver.’ 13
[3:6] 2 tn Heb “walked before.”
[3:6] 3 tn Heb “in faithfulness and in innocence and in uprightness of heart with you.”
[3:6] 4 tn Heb “and you have kept to him this great loyalty and you gave to him a son [who] sits on his throne as this day.”
[11:38] 5 tn Heb “If you obey.” In the Hebrew text v. 38 is actually one long conditional sentence, which has been broken into two parts in the translation for stylistic purposes.
[11:38] 6 tn Heb “walk in my ways.”
[11:38] 7 tn Heb “do what is right in my eyes.”
[11:38] 8 tn Heb “I will build for you a permanent house, like I built for David.”
[20:39] 10 tn Heb “man” (also a second time later in this verse).
[20:39] 11 tn Heb “if being missed, he is missed.” The emphatic infinitive absolute before the finite verbal form lends solemnity to the warning.
[20:39] 12 tn The Hebrew term כִּכָּר (kikkar, “circle”) refers generally to something that is round. When used of metals it can refer to a disk-shaped weight made of the metal or to a standard unit of weight, generally regarded as a talent. Since the accepted weight for a talent of metal is about 75 pounds, this would have amounted to about 75 pounds of silver.
[20:39] 13 tn Heb “your life will be in place of his life, or a unit of silver you will pay.”
