1 Kings 8:35

8:35 “The time will come when ¹  the skies are shut up tightly and no rain falls because your people ²  sinned against you. When they direct their prayers toward this place, renew their allegiance to you, ³  and turn away from their sin because you punish ⁴  them,

1 Kings 8:46

8:46 “The time will come when your people ⁵  will sin against you (for there is no one who is sinless!) and you will be angry with them and deliver them over to their enemies, who will take them as prisoners to their own land, ⁶  whether far away or close by.

1 Kings 13:2

13:2 With the authority of the Lord ⁷  he cried out against the altar, “O altar, altar! This is what the Lord says, ‘Look, a son named Josiah will be born to the Davidic dynasty. He will sacrifice on you the priests of the high places who offer sacrifices on you. Human bones will be burned on you.’” ⁸ 

1 Kings 13:26

13:26 When the old prophet who had invited him to his house heard the news, ⁹  he said, “It is the prophet ¹⁰  who rebelled against the Lord. ¹¹  The Lord delivered him over to the lion and it ripped him up ¹²  and killed him, just as the Lord warned him.” ¹³

¹ tn Heb “when.” In the Hebrew text vv. 35-36a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided into two sentences for stylistic reasons.

² tn Heb “they”; the referent (your people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ tn Heb “confess [or perhaps, “praise”] your name.”

⁴ tn The Hebrew text has “because you answer them,” as if the verb is from עָנָה (’anah, “to answer”). However, this reference to a divine answer is premature, since the next verse asks for God to intervene in mercy. It is better to revocalize the consonantal text as תְעַנֵּם (tÿ’annem, “you afflict them”), a Piel verb form from the homonym עָנָה (“to afflict”).

⁵ tn Heb “they”; the referent (your people) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁶ tn Heb “the land of the enemy.”

⁷ tn Heb “by the word of the Lord.”

⁸ sn ‘Look…you.’ For the fulfillment of this prophecy see 2 Kgs 23:15-20.

⁹ tn Heb “and the prophet who had brought him back from the road heard.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “the man of God.”

¹¹ tn Heb “the mouth of the Lord.”

¹² tn Heb “broke him,” or “crushed him.”

¹³ tn Heb “according to the word of the Lord which he spoke to him.”
