38:4 So these officials said to the king, “This man must be put to death. For he is demoralizing ¹³  the soldiers who are left in the city as well as all the other people there by these things he is saying. ¹⁴  This ¹⁵  man is not seeking to help these people but is trying to harm them.” ¹⁶ 

[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.”

[7:1]  sn This incident illustrates well the principle of corporate solidarity and corporate guilt. The sin of one man brought the Lord’s anger down upon the entire nation.

[14:29]  ⁷ tc The LXX reads “saw.” See v. 27.

[14:1]  ⁸ tn Or “the servant who was carrying his military equipment” (likewise in vv. 6, 7, 12, 13, 14).

[21:20]  ⁹ tn Heb “and Ahab said to Elijah.” The narrative is elliptical and streamlined. The words “when Elijah arrived” are supplied in the translation for clarification.

[21:20]  ¹⁰ tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elijah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:20]  ¹¹ tn Heb “you have sold yourself.”

[21:20]  ¹² tn Heb “in the eyes of.”

[38:4]  ¹³ tn Heb “weakening the hands of.” For this idiom see BDB 951 s.v. רָפָה Pi. and compare the usage in Isa 13:7; Ezek 21:7 (21:12 HT).

[38:4]  ¹⁴ tn Heb “by saying these things.”

[38:4]  ¹⁵ tn The Hebrew particle כִּי (ki) has not been rendered here because it is introducing a parallel causal clause to the preceding one. To render “For” might be misunderstood as a grounds for the preceding statement. To render “And” or “Moreover” sounds a little odd here. If it must be represented, “Moreover” is perhaps the best rendering.

[38:4]  ¹⁶ tn Or “is not looking out for these people’s best interests but is really trying to do them harm”; Heb “is not seeking the welfare [or “well-being”; Hebrew shalom] of this people but [their] harm [more literally, evil].”
