1 tn Heb “And Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard, now they had finished eating.”
2 tn Heb “Why is the city’s sound noisy?”
3 tn Heb “[you] who kept to your servant David my father that which you spoke to him.”
4 tn Heb “you spoke by your mouth and by your hand you fulfilled, as this day.”
5 tn Heb “according to your word.”
6 tn Heb “all that is desirable to your eyes they will put in their hand and take.”
7 tn Heb “Should I go against Ramoth Gilead for war or should I refrain?”
8 tn Though Jehoshaphat requested an oracle from “the Lord” (יְהוָה, Yahweh), they stop short of actually using this name and substitute the title אֲדֹנָי (’adonai, “lord; master”). This ambiguity may explain in part Jehoshaphat’s hesitancy and caution (vv. 7-8). He seems to doubt that the four hundred are genuine prophets of the Lord.
