1 Kings 8:39

1 Kings 22:19

22:19 Micaiah 4  said, “That being the case, hear the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, with all the heavenly assembly standing on his right and on his left.

1 tn The words “their sin” are added for clarification.

2 tn Heb “and act and give to each one according to all his ways because you know his heart.” In the Hebrew text vv. 37-39a actually contain one lengthy conditional sentence, which the translation has divided up for stylistic reasons.

3 tn Heb “Indeed you know, you alone, the heart of all the sons of mankind.”

4 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Micaiah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
