1 Kings 8:56

8:56 “The Lord is worthy of praise because he has made Israel his people secure 1  just as he promised! Not one of all the faithful promises he made through his servant Moses is left unfulfilled! 2 

1 Kings 16:2

16:2 “I raised you up 3  from the dust and made you ruler over my people Israel. Yet you followed in Jeroboam’s footsteps 4  and encouraged my people Israel to sin; their sins have made me angry. 5 

1 tn Heb “he has given a resting place to his people Israel.”

2 tn Heb “not one word from his entire good word he spoke by Moses his servant has fallen.”

3 tn The Hebrew text has “because” at the beginning of the sentence. In the Hebrew text vv. 2-3 are one sentence comprised of a causal clause giving the reason for divine punishment (v. 2) and the main clause announcing the punishment (v. 3). The translation divides this sentence for stylistic reasons.

4 tn Heb “walked in the way of Jeroboam.”

5 tn Heb “angering me by their sins.”
