11:38 You must obey 1 all I command you to do, follow my instructions, 2 do what I approve, 3 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; 4 I will give you Israel.
1 Kings 18:36
18:36 When it was time for the evening offering, 5 Elijah the prophet approached the altar 6 and prayed: “O Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, prove 7 today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command.
1 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.
2 tn Heb “walk in my ways.”
3 tn Heb “do what is right in my eyes.”
4 tn Heb “I will build for you a permanent house, like I built for David.”
5 tn Heb “at the offering up of the offering.”
6 tn The words “the altar” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
7 tn Heb “let it be known.”
