1 Kings 5:9

5:9 My servants will bring the timber down from Lebanon to the sea. I will send it by sea in raft-like bundles to the place you designate. ¹  There I will separate the logs ²  and you can carry them away. In exchange you will supply the food I need for my royal court.” ³ 

1 Kings 18:13

18:13 Certainly my master is aware of what I did ⁴  when Jezebel was killing the Lord’s prophets. I hid one hundred of the Lord’s prophets in two caves in two groups of fifty and I brought them food and water.

¹ tn Heb “I will place them [on? as?] rafts in the sea to the place where you designate to me.” This may mean he would send them by raft, or that he would tie them in raft-like bundles, and have ships tow them down to an Israelite port.

² tn Heb “smash them,” i.e., untie the bundles.

³ tn Heb “as for you, you will satisfy my desire by giving food for my house.”

⁴ tn Heb “Has it not been told to my master what I did…?” The rhetorical question expects an answer, “Of course it has!”
