1 Kings 9:7

9:7 then I will remove Israel from the land 1  I have given them, I will abandon this temple I have consecrated with my presence, 2  and Israel will be mocked and ridiculed 3  among all the nations.

1 Kings 11:20

11:20 Tahpenes’ sister gave birth to his son, 4  named Genubath. Tahpenes raised 5  him in Pharaoh’s palace; Genubath grew up in Pharaoh’s palace among Pharaoh’s sons.

1 tn Heb “I will cut off Israel from upon the surface of the land.”

2 tn Heb “and the temple which I consecrated for my name I will send away from before my face.”

sn Instead of “I will send away,” the parallel text in 2 Chr 7:20 has “I will throw away.” The two verbs sound very similar in Hebrew, so the discrepancy is likely due to an oral transmissional error.

3 tn Heb “will become a proverb and a taunt,” that is, a proverbial example of destruction and an object of reproach.

4 tn Heb “bore him Genubath his son.”

5 tc The Hebrew text reads וַתִּגְמְלֵהוּ (vattigmÿlehu, “weaned him”) but a slight alteration of the consonantal text yields וַתִּגְדְלֵהוּ (vattigdÿlehu, “raised him”), which seems to make better sense.
