1 Raja-raja 18:18

18:18 Elijah ⁷  replied, “I have not brought disaster ⁸  on Israel. But you and your father’s dynasty have, by abandoning the Lord’s commandments and following the Baals.

[7:25]  ¹ tn Or “trouble.” The word is “achor” in Hebrew (also in the following clause).

[7:25]  ² tc Heb “and they burned them with fire and they stoned them with stones.” These words are somewhat parenthetical in nature and are omitted in the LXX; they may represent a later scribal addition.

[7:1]  ³ tn Heb “But the sons of Israel were unfaithful with unfaithfulness concerning what was set apart [to the Lord].”

[7:1]  ⁴ tn 1 Chr 2:6 lists a “Zimri” (but no Zabdi) as one of the five sons of Zerah (cf. also 1 Chr 7:17, 18).

[7:1]  ⁵ tn Heb “took from what was set apart [to the Lord].”

[7:1]  ⁶ tn Heb “the anger of the Lord burned against the sons of Israel.”

[18:18]  ⁷ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elijah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:18]  ⁸ tn Or “trouble.”
