1 tn Heb “Like me, like you; and like your people, my people; and with you in battle.”
2 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Micaiah) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the Lord) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
4 tn The Hebrew text has two imperfects connected by וְגַם (vÿgam). These verbs could be translated as specific futures, “you will deceive and also you will prevail,” in which case the Lord is assuring the spirit of success on his mission. However, in a commissioning context (note the following imperatives) such as this, it is more likely that the imperfects are injunctive, in which case one could translate, “Deceive, and also overpower.”
5 tn Heb “said to the man of God.”
6 tn Heb “man of God.”
