² tn Heb “so your servant will do.”

³ tn Heb “many days.”

⁴ tn Heb “when.” In the Hebrew text vv. 33-34 actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided into two sentences for stylistic reasons.

⁵ tn Or “are struck down before an enemy.”

⁹ tn Heb “the word of the Lord came to Elijah.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “saying.”

¹¹ tn Heb “So may the gods do to me, and so may they add.”
